Hello, Bruce,
Aren't there old X11 applications that used to copy-and-paste meta
data too?
I think I remember using old SGI workstations in University that
copied-and-pasted text with bolding and italicizing intact.
See ya
In an application I developed in 1994-6, "Palimpsest" you could cut
and paste the links (I called them "cross references") and
annotations, which had rich meta data in them. You could "tag" links
and annotations with "labels", links and annotations had creators,
creation dates, etc. All this data was maintained when copying and
pasting within the app.
You can still run Palimpsest on the Mac in Classic.
HTH
