Paperclip III on the C64 is silly.  I got mine for $15US in the upgrade
offer, for which they required I send in the nifty cover from my
original Paperclip Manual 8-(

Anyway, Paperclip III was designed for C128, with the result that in
C64 mode it has no memory left for a decent-sized document.

A big selling point of Paperclip III was that it was neither disk nor
dongle-protected.  I would have rather they sent me such a version of
my original version (Paperclip II-D, I believe), which I used happily
for several years, although always fearful that one day the dongle
would be lost or stop functioning.
