148.0. "Eagering clipboard, pasteboard..." by TKOV50::MIZUTAMARI (DEC-J SWS/TKD2-1:Advisory) Wed Feb 08 1989 02:04

   Everyone wants clipboard everywhere the WorkStation is. I think.

  What is the current plan for this ? Does any ISV developping it ?
  Seeing our competitors status, we cannot despise them.

   In case of a text only document, can't it done immediatly ?
   In case of compaund document...

  I think this fuctionality should be available by window manager, not by 
 each application. What do you think ?

  Any comments are welcome.

   Concerning only text, DECwindows V1.0 itself has that functionality.
   For example, you can cut & paste between DECterms, or calculator.
   
   Concerning compound document, we soon have DECwrite (formerly called
   EPIC/writer). With this product, we can do 'live link' to charts and
   images interactivly.
   
   For non-multi-byte-character people, DIGITAL has it now !
   
   But for us, I hope DIGITAL will have it soon :-)  (I don't know the current 
   development status of Japanese DECwrite... But Japanese DECwindows will be
   shipped on this May).
