Re: Clipboard Copy & Paste via AutoIt

Dear Carl
I have loaded and tested the U2 version of ACLIP. It works, partly, but
not fully. The keyboard assignment I have used is:

nn=NOJM2,.,a,D,u,a,l,Q2
Which is slightly different to the one in the TXT file for ACLIP. This
gives me pasting ability into XY4 but when trying to copy from XY4 it
launches my printer driver window and if allowed, prints the selected
text rather than copying it.
Is my keyboard assignment incorrect? I tried the assignment exactly as
in the TXT file but that did not work for me. XY4 froze for a couple of
minutes and then gave a series of errors.

I've been using the AutoIt Windows scripting language pretty
intensively over the past year, with satisfying results. The scripts
are relatively easy to write, portable, and fast. They also integrate
nicely with XyWrite.

This week I decided to test out AutoIt's clipboard copy and paste
functions. I was pleasantly surprised. Copying and pasting to and from
XyWrite are very fast, indeed -- faster than just about anything I've
seen to date, on a par with vDosXy's SAD LPT4 copy command. Pasting big
chunks of text into XyWrite is a special pleasure. No waiting, just
boom, and the clip is there.

I was so pleased that I decided to make this compatible with all
current flavors of XyWrite, including Xy3+ and Xy4 with or without the
Jumbo U2. The documentation has two sets of instructions, one for Xy4
users running U2 v121, and one for everyone else. You can browse the
doc here:

The download is here:

Unzip all files into the directory with EDITOR.EXE, then CAll ACLIP.TXT
for instructions. Setup should take less than 5 minutes. I've tested
this successfully in both Xy3 and Xy4.
