There was a program posted to Hobbes a few months which promised a way
to access the OS/2 clipboard -- what I think it did was to kludge a
file (or reroute it to stdin?)  If I come across the description I'll

smart lawyer is apt to buy the code and release it buried under a
killer app named "Probate 4.018!" Or keep threatening to.
