        Yes, its time for my annual *bit**ing about the lack of
developper support for the clipboard.device.  Why can't I cut
something out of WordPerfect, and then paste it into CED, or Excellence!, etc?

        Shouldn't we, the users, DEMAND the support from developpers?
ASCII files just don't cut it, and IFF files in the ram disk just aren't
as convenient either.
        Heck, when I see my friends using the nameless one (Ma*intosh), and
the ease with which they can share any info. between all applications, I
get kind of upset that I can't do the same thing as transparently on my
machine.  So, what gives?  It's not that much extra work to put in
clipboard support?
