All of the Paintworks programs do not follow a particular standard for
supporting NDA's.  They don't start up the scrap manager.  Why?  Because a
sample program that Apple distributed (with source, as an example of a program
for the GS) didn't do it.  We (StyleWare) discovered that after getting lots
of calls from people with Paintworks.  I've got an NDA that I wrote to patch
the problem.  All it does is look to see if the Scrap Manager is started up
when it (the NDA) gets its init call.  If not, then it does so, & shuts it
back down when it's done.  Note, though, that you still can't transfer data
between your DA's (say, Scrapbook) and Paintworks.

If anyone is interested, I'll post the NDA on comp.binaries.apple2.
