I made some changes to support the 8.0 driver prior to the release of
netatalk 1.3b2. I am not sure if all of the changes necessary to
support the LW8.0 driver are done or not, but it does work with the
documents and applications I have tried.

Can you tell me how to get a copy of that document? If you do any work on
papd, be sure to start with the 1.3b2 version. The changes I made were based
on the Adobe Document Structuring Conventions 3.0 and on observation of the
8.0 driver's behavior.
