Although I haven't personally run it under System 5, I don't *think* that you should be having the problems you're having. It runs perfectly under System 6.0.2 for me. Are there any entries in the GateKeeper Log file other than "Installation" and "Shutdown" messages? A number of people have experienced difficulties with GateKeeper that came from conflicts between GateKeeper and certain INITs and cdevs that installed after GateKeeper. If this is the explanation, you should find records of the conflicts in the log file. Has anyone else encountered problems that seem to be tied to earlier versions of the System (i.e. pre 6.0.2)? I'd appreciate hearing about them, so they (the problems) can be isolated and fixed. Please send email to me instead of posting - I won't overlook mail, but I may miss postings in this group - and I really do want to make GateKeeper work for people.

I recently got Gate Keeper V1.0 off the USENET and I put it on
a Release 5 system (System 4.2 & Finder 6.0). After leaving the
Control Panel after getting into Gate Keeper the system bombs with
a 2, and 2 out of 3 times it trashed the system file in the system
folder. What system versions is GateKeeper 1.0 compatible with?
