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

It would be nice to be able to copy and paste graphics between emulator and host, but I would rather see that efforts are directed first to clipboard integration for text. As it is now in SheepShaver on OSX, clipboard integration for text does not work at all in 64-bit mode and only works with severe limitations in 32-bit mode.
