Re: [B2-devel] TESyncScrap (Thoughts on SheepShaver and Basilisk II)

That might help a little bit -- but the main issue is on the host side.

Apple does not provide 64-bit runtime libraries for any of Carbon,
such as is needed to convert PICT scrap data into another bitmap
format. In fact, all of QuickDraw is missing, and you can't even view
a PICT image on your Leopard (or later) Mac if you have it set to boot
with the 64-bit kernel (except by transferring the PICT data into an
emulator running an older Mac OS).
