Driver version 4.4.53

Updates:

• 
  
  1. Selecting the paper type "Continuous" should disable the input boxes for gap, black line / blowhole length, and registration offsets.  Not doing this does not cause any serious problem, but deactivating these controls will make it more apparent to the user that registration is not being detected.
  
  
  2. When you define a stock in an LDS2 driver, there is an unnecessary input box for "Black line/blow-hole length" on the "Define Stock" form.  This control is always inactive, because it is never used.  This input is not needed because the value should be placed in the input box for "Gap length", as it is on the driver's "Advanced Setup" tab.
• Driver reports an error : "An unhandled win32 exception occurred in explorer.exe [???]." if .drs file path is too large (over 80 characters).
