Does anyone remember WINCLIP? This allowed ARev to pass up to 191 characters from a variable into the Windows Clipboard.

I recently upgraded someone from a Windows 98 OS to Windows XP and WINCLIP no longer works. Ancient software, I know, but if someone found a workaround or can suggest a way to push a string into the Clipboard from ARev in W XP it would be helpful.

Thanks

Dave

Dave,

The best I can do is to give you a substitute VB6 routine

DAVEH.EXE

Standard VB 6 exe, source:

Private Sub Form_Load()

Dim intFreeFilehandle As Integer

Dim filecontents As String

intFreeFilehandle=FreeFile

Open Trim(Command()) For Input As intFreeFilehandle

filecontents=Input(LOF(intFreeFilehandle), intFreeFilehandle)

Close intFreeFilehandle

Clipboard.Clear

Clipboard.SetText filecontents

Unload Me

End Sub

which accepts a single parameter (a DOS filespec) which the DAVEH.EXE reads and then places in the clipboard.

From AREV TCL, I tested it with (on one line)

EVAL OSWRITE "A big hello Dave Harmacek" TO "C:\TOCLIP.TXT" ; FLUSH ;

PERFORM "SUSPEND EXIT DAVEH.EXE C:\TOCLIP.TXT"

Then open notepad and Ctrl-V

Hope this helps,

Steve
