Vanilla AppleScript based on Classic Mac OS method.

On Classic Mac OS, we use clipboard as data I/O & converting port.
The speed of file I/O was slow on Classic Mac OS (resource fork was used for
high-speed data storage).

At first, we set the data to clipboard. And “clipboard info” command was used
for detect what the data is.

«class ut16» : UTF-16 text
«class utf8» : UTF-8 text
«class RTF » : Ritch Text Format
«class rtfd» : Ritch Text Format with attached images
«class hfs » : HFS path info
«class furl» : File URL
«class urln» : ????
«class PDF » : graphic
«class icns» : icon image
«class moov» : QuickTime Movie
«class TPIC» : Tiff picture
«class PNGf» : PNG image
«class BMP » : BMP image
«class 8BPS» : Photoshop PSD image
«class jp2 » : JPEG2000 image
JPEG picture : JPEG image
TIFF picture : TIFF image
GIF picture : GIFF image
scrap styles: ????

The data format via file I/O are text encoding formatter, list & record.
