After seeing the posting of a download location for GateKeeper AID,
the WDEF & clone eradicator, I grabbed it and tried it out on various
Macs here. All seemed okay until this morning when a Mac froze when
using Excel 2.2 and attempting to use the Print Setup or Print
functions.  Removal of GateKeeper AID resolved the hang. This was on
both a Mac II, and an SE/30, running Multifinder. I tried renaming the
init to zGateKeeper AID to make it the last init, and the Mac
complained that it could not load the Finder. Removal of the init
again resolved that. I thought potential users, and the author should
be warned.  By the way, other than the freeze/crash above, it worked
as expected, and WDEF does seem to be everywhere. Sorta like
'chicken-man'...
