No idea. It worked OK in OS/2, and it works better in Win95--as long
as the clipboard material is fairly short. Longer documents cause
the problem I wrote about. I'm not enough of a Windoze guru to
know what I'm doing right; I know I never fiddled with any clipboard
settings.

Oh yeah, I"m using XyWrite 4.014
