I don't believe that I wrote any particular System file version dependencies
into GateKeeper (none that should be bothering System 5, anyway), so your
problem is of some concern to me.  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.

My apologies for any difficulties,
