You can do the same with dosemu in most cases. The
winoldap interface is not implemented (and you didn't
mention it in the report anyway), but the clipboard
access with mouse works perfectly.

Selecting the DOS text is best to do when dosemu
is paused by Ctrl-Alt-p. It would probably even make
sense to disallow the selection otherwise.

Have you considered pressing the middle button in the window
you want to paste the text to, not in the window where you selected it?
