[comp.sys.mac.programmer] clipboards in hog heaven

Large clipboard files.

How does one handle large clipboard files.  I am able to clip/paste
80+kb between mpw and word.  So I know it can be done.  I just don't
see how the scrap manager handles large amount of data.  If I try to
PutScrap() and exceed the evil 32kb value, then I get into trouble.

GetScrap seems to work just fine for large clipboards, how do I deal
with saving a large amount of data to the clipboard in a maner
usable to the rest of the world.

Thanks,
