Though I'm fortunately not assigned to any task in IK context, I've though 
about implementing a little workaround for a problem with BClipboard and 
large amounts of data. Currently the clipboard data are sent through ports, 
which, due to a port message size limit, causes the clipboard to cease to 
work for data sizes of 2 MB (on R5) and more (easily reproducable when 
copying a large region in ShowImage).

My idea to solve this problem is to pass data larger than, say, 64 KB 
through an area (and leave it like that in the registrar). I'm currently 
stuffed with work; so, if someone else wants to implement that, I wouldn't 
mind to hand it over.

CU, Ingo
