Setting clipbrd to point to c:\clipbrd works. When set to u:\ram\clipbrd, qed complains when this folder already exists. However, this problem has never occured until tonight. So something has changed.Nothing I know of. Maybe I'll try qed with \host\clipbrd with an older xaaes.
I get the same message with xaaes 0.998 from 2008. -- Helmut Karlowski
