	Marc, you can't weasel out of this one. There are
problems with the clipboard, the primary one being that no one
ever supported it.
	BUT, you made a point that was totally wrong. You stated
AS FACT that the Clipboard was designed for ASCII transfers only.
You were 100% wrong. The Clipboard is for IFF images quite
specifically, and has been since the beginning.
	You still wonder why people get angry with you all the
time? You can state valid points and blatant inaccuracies all in
the same post.
