The fault could easily lie on either side: the RAM XFer code in IcnClipBrd had been commented out since I took over the module, and -- although I've gone through it all carefully and tested it as much as possible -- there's a possibility that it was disabled for a reason.
Just to keep everyone up to date. Entirely due to Steve Fryatt's efforts the problem with icnclipbrd is now solved.
I'll produce a new version of OP for RISC OS soon which fixes the problem.
The ram transfer code in OP has been making assumptions about the behaviour of other programs which are not justified by the Acorn specification of the protocol.
