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

[Robert M. <mr...@gm...>]

In my scientific apps, written by me and running within SheepShaver,
the clipboard PICT data includes a label with important information as
text strings (DrawString). These label text strings need to survive
the transfer to the host OS in order for cut/paste to be useful.

There are many other cases of real users transferring object-based
(i.e. not bitmap) PICT data between MacOS classic applications via cut
and paste.
