(fwd) Smartboard Windows clipper

[Daniel Say say@xxxxxxxx]

	Dr. Sivin mentioned, using this program as
	his inter-program clipper. There are others
	and you might scan the Simtelnet and Tucows
	web sites.

	There are many DOS, Win, OS/2 clippers.
	OS/2 has one built-in to each "window" shares
	or not-shares with the Windows clipboard.
	In OS/2, I'd recommend Manyclip from the EWS,
	Dragtext and ClipIt, the latter for full-screen
	"windows"

"  New SmartBoard alleviates time consuming file swapping
"  in multiple "cut and paste" operations
" 
"  BOUNTIFUL, UTAH -- Feb 20, 1996 -- Insight Software Solutions, Inc.
"  today announced the immediate availability of SmartBoard, a program
"  designed to enhance the functionality of the Windows Clipboard, for
"  both Windows 3.1 and Windows 95.
"  SmartBoard is a "Clipboard Extender" for Windows. The normal Windows
"  Clipboard can only retain a single item at a time. As soon as a second
"  item is copied to the Clipboard the first item is lost. This is no
"  longer true with the arrival of SmartBoard. SmartBoard retains
"  multiple "Clip Items" even across a Windows restart and allows simple
"  pasting back of any item into any application.
" 
"  SmartBoard runs as an invisible task in Windows with no icon
"  cluttering up the desktop. A single mouse-click or press of a hot-key
"  pops SmartBoard up on top of the current application allowing the
"  selection of the "Clip Item" to paste. It then disappears again after
"  automatically pasting the item into the current application. There is
"  normally no need to use the application's own paste command.
" 
" 
"  "SmartBoard appears to be almost built into the operating system
"  itself and that makes it a complete no-brainer to use", said Colin
"  Messitt, Senior Partner at Oakley Data Services. "The user can just
"  pop SmartBoard into the Startup group and forget about it until an
"  item needs to be recalled for pasting. The power and ease of operation
"  makes it valuable to almost all Windows users. This includes
"  office-suite users copying and pasting text and spreadsheet cells,
"  through developers using it for boilerplate code, to power multimedia
"  users cutting and pasting images and sounds".
" 
"  SmartBoard supports all clipboard formats and allows the user complete
"  control over the format configuration. The user can specify what
"  clipboard formats to capture from each program. In addition, each
"  format can be limited in capture size and a preferred format option
"  may be selected. For example, the user could specify a capture of both
"  Rich Text Format and plain Text from Microsoft Word and the Lotus
"  compatible XL1 format from Microsoft Excel, but only if it is less
"  than 50K in size.
" 
"  The modern interface looks much like File Manager or the Win95
"  Explorer. It includes a set of user-definable categories and
"  sub-categories down the left side of the window with the right side
"  displaying the content of the currently selected category. The first
"  few characters of text items are shown. Bitmaps and Metafiles are
"  shown as thumbnails while other data formats display as capture detail
"  information.
" 
"  Nicknames can be assigned to any of the items for easier
"  identification. The user can "zoom-in" on an item for a closer look by
"  right-clicking the mouse. Zooming in on text items presents a pop-up
"  window showing the first few lines complete with formatting
"  information (tabs/line breaks etc.). Zooming in on graphic items
"  displays them full-size. A "plug-in viewer" interface allows the
"  development of zoom-in capability for any other Clipboard format. A
"  sample is supplied which plays any wave files that have been captured
"  from the Clipboard. The interface is open and sample source-code is
"  supplied to help other developers.
" 
"  A system-wide hot-key facility allows the association of a key
"  combination with a particular clipboard item. Whenever the key
"  combination is pressed the associated item is automatically pasted
"  into the current application.
" 
" 
"  Items can be moved around between categories using Drag 'n Drop.
"  Multiple text items can be appended together either automatically
"  while capturing or after the event. Items can be edited, printed or
"  saved to a file. For text items, a template capability allows the user
"  to create "boilerplate" items with variable fields that can either be
"  updated automatically (dates/times etc.) or manually with the user
"  specifying the required replacement data at paste time.
" 
"  All the usual elements of a modern Windows application such as
"  toolbars, fly-by hints, and context sensitive pop-up help are included
"  making SmartBoard a snap to use.
" 
" 
"  SmartBoard runs under Windows 3.1 or 95 and requires a VGA or better
"  monitor and 4MB Ram. Initial installation requires less than 800K of
"  hard disk space.
" 
"  An evaluation version of SmartBoard is available so users can
"  determine suitability before committing themselves. Potential users
"  can obtain evaluation copies from our World-Wide-Web Home Page
"  (http://www.smartcode.com/iss) and FTP site (ftp://ftp.smartcode.com)
"  on the Internet. In addition, evaluation copies may be found on
"  CompuServe in library 4 of the UKSHARE forum and through other popular
"  shareware avenues.
" 
"  SmartBoard pricing is $24.95 plus $3.00 shipping and handling in the
"  USA. The product may be obtained directly from Insight Software
"  Solutions, Inc., P.O. Box 354, Bountiful, UT 84011-0354, USA, Tel:
"  (801) 295-1890, Fax: (801) 299-1781. All major credit cards are
"  accepted. Multiple copy site license discounts are available.
