I don't want to get involved between views of two highly respected
programmers as my programming knowledge is too poor to discuss the
issues intelligently so I will keep out of it. It would be nice
sometime in the future that the issue could be resolved to satisfy all
parties. For the time being disabling UniClip when using EasiWriter
works.

I can't do this as I don't use Datapower.
