 I'm working on an application that I'd like to support the clipboard.
Unfortunately, the clipboard.device wants data in IFF format, and
writing IFF-format data really needs something that supports writes at
random offsets. The documentation for the clipboard.device hints that
you can do this by playing with the io_Offset field (indeed, it hints
at having a Seek() call of some sort), but I'd like to be sure before
I start writing a lot of code.
