Thanks for trying GateKeeper.  Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem
you're having.  I'm currently running GateKeeper on a Mac II with System 6.0.2
and Moire 2.22 and I'm not having any problems.  In fact I've been running
GateKeeper since (I believe) its alpha-2 version on this system, without 
incident.

However, there can be conflicts between GateKeeper and Moire.  The key is to
make certain that Moire installs before GateKeeper does.  All of the copies of
Moire I've ever received came pre-named with a space as the first letter of
the name, which does guarantee that Moire will install before GateKeeper.  If
your copy does not have a space at the beginning of its name, you should be 
able to correct the problem by adding that space. 

Hope this helps,
