That would of course work for text files, but I'm looking at running a 
MacOS-only application in MOL during a transition to something OSS/FS, and 
our people frequently need to copy & paste from this Mac-only application we 
currently depend on, to, for example, email. So that would mean doing a bit 
too much work every time (export, then open the exported data as text, then 
copy/paste). People would resent the extra work, even if it is only a 
temporary hassle (and maybe blame Linux for the trouble, which would be 
bad!).

I'm evaluating whether everyone here can switch to a Linux desktop NOW during 
a transitional phase (away from the one Mac-only app, because a lot of people 
here are not happy with OS9's instability), or if we would have to wait until 
the conversion (a *long* process) is done before switching OS's.
