But now there is *no* clipboard access :-(

I don't understand why Apple doesn't support the old scrap manager under Carbon.
And it's really dumb to replace it with something "non-trivial".

As a workaround: can we use calldll to get GetScrap() from InterfaceLib? It
seems that's possible. But then: how do you pass a resource object to a calldll
func? (I realize this won't work under OSX, which is just fine for the time
being ;-)
