I heard from Datapak about the interaction between Printer Interface III
and GK.  According to them, they are storing the latest page format record
in a CODE resource instead of a PREF (or other type of) resource.  They 
are aware that this causes a problem but feel that what they are doing is
"perfectly legal" and do not feel a need to change.  Their recommendation
was to have GateKeeper not reject when a DRVR modifies a CODE resource.

My opinion is that it is a bogus "solution" and that doing so would nullify
a large portion of GateKeeper's protection.  I feel that they are wrong and
let them know.  If you agree, why dont you spread the word to the sites and
maybe, if many complain to them, they will correct the problem.
