Re: [B2-devel] Tex-Edit Plus copy/paste problem in SS and B2 MacOSX

[Kevin J. <kev...@hi...>]

FWIW, I have clipboard issues with the program InControl. I am using  
Sheepshaver 080721 UB. When I first start the program, it is able to  
paste text copied in MacOS X applications. I can't positively say it  
never works more than once, but I can say that is rare. I have to  
relaunch the program, then re-copy in OS X. It's a pain, but not a  
disaster.

Likewise, it mostly won't copy from InControl TO Mac OS X. I can't  
positively say it ever works. I just routinely drag-copy to the shared  
folder, then open that and copy it in OS X.

I use InControl daily, and once a month I use 4D. I know that 4D has  
similar issues, but can't positively say they are exactly the same.  
Those are the only two Classic programs that I still need or use.
