Msg: Re: New vDos and vDos-lfn version 2016.06.01

Hi James,

I agree with you that LPT4=CLIP is a very useful feature. The clipboard issue is a regression in original vDos 2016.06.01. However, I see that Carl had already made a post regarding this and some other points in the vDos forum. Hope Jos will see the post and fix it soon.

Carl, thanks for your comments about Wengier's new vDos-lfn. I think
the LPT4=CLIP functionality is really essential--now that I have it,
I wouldn't want to be without it. I very much appreciate the
continued development of vDos and vDos-lfn by Jos and Wengier and am
still hoping that this clipboard matter can be addressed.
