How much would it take to have the primitive return the normalized UTF-8 string directly?
Er, case of beer?
What kind? :-) Duckstein?
Seriously tho you need to define if the UTF8 you expect squeak to work with is precomposed and decomposed Unicode.
I would say precomposed, basically what is returned by the extended clipboard logic.
need a frame work (ala sophie) to front the existing logic, that and the windows VM support.
Windows already returns UTF-8 in the default Squeak clipboard, as does Linux. michael
