I have a program which puts a PICT (and nothing else) into the clipboard. It works fine as a standalone application under regular Finder and MultiFinder. It works fine when compiled and sublaunched from MPW under regular Finder. However, it doesn't work from within MPW under MultiFinder. In this circumstance, MPW doesn't seem to recognize that any changes have been made. What's worse is that it seems to erase the picture data so that even quitting to the Finder and doing Show Clipboard displays only text. I know about calling SystemEdit to record clipboard changes under MultiFinder, so that doesn't seem to be the problem. I'd like to ask whether anyone else out there has ever written a program which could put PICT data into the clipboard as a sublaunched application from MPW under MultiFinder. Is this possible? Environmental info: Mac II, 4Mb, 256 color, System 6.0.2, MPW 2.0.2, Language Systems Fortran 1.2. Any and all advice appreciated. Bill Lipa
