- * format, which is NOT backward-compatible. (3.0 is *
- * the same as 3.1) *

- *******************************************************
-
- *********************** Where To Download: *************************
- Our WWW Site at http://delta.com/tsoft/clipmate.htm
- or See "Ordering, Downloading, and Contact Information" in the
- online help.
-
- *********************** Windows 95 *************************
- This is not a 32-bit version of ClipMate, but it will run fine
- under Windows 95. We expect to ship a 32-bit version Q1 '96.
- See "Windows 95 Issues" on the online help.
-
- *********************** Installation Notes *************************
- System Requirements:
- --------------------
- Windows 3.1, Windows 95, or Windows NT.
- VGA or better display. Monchrome vga is ok.
- Mouse or other pointing device.
-
- To install ClipMate, just run the accompanying
- SETUP program from the Program Manager.
- (ex: FILE|RUN A: SETUP)
-
- The setup program does not require seperate install/target
- directories, meaning that if you've un-zipped the files into
- the directory that you want to run from, you can still run the
- setup to install the software - it will just skip the copy step.
-
- It is strongly recommended that ClipMate be placed in its own
- directory (i.e. C:\CLIPMATE).
-
- When the Setup program runs, it will create a ClipMate group
- with the ClipMate icon, and icons for documentation. If you
- decide to move the ClipMate icon to another group, such as the
- STARTUP group, you can delete the ClipMate group.
-
- NOTE: ClipMate doesn't alter ANY of your system files.
- It creates NO hidden files, puts NO DLLs or VBXs in your
- \windows\system directory, and is basically a CLEAN APPLICATION.
- ClipMate is EASY to get rid of, if you decide that it doesn't meet
- your needs.
-
- You are encouraged to place ClipMate in your Startup Group,
- and to assign a hot-key to it. The hot-key must be done
- through the Program Manager, but the group can be changed
- during installation.
-
- To assign a hot key (after installation), just click once
- on the icon, and select File|Properties from the Program
- Manager's File Menu. In the Hotkey field, press a
- key-combination, such as Ctrl+Alt+C.

- De-Installation Notes:
- ----------------------
- These instructions are included in the event that you determine that
- ClipMate does not meet your needs, and therefore should be removed
- from your system.
-
- Before deleting ClipMate, you should review the contents of
- the QuickStart screen in the on-line help. If you have put ClipMate through
- a proper evaluation, then everything on that screen should be familiar to
- you. If this is not the case, then you may want to spend some more time
- evaluating ClipMate.
-
- In the event that you wish to remove ClipMate from your system,
- erase the \windows\clipmate.ini file, as well as all files in the
- \clipmate directory (or wherever you put ClipMate), and the
- \clipmate\data directory.
- Then remove the ClipMate group from the Program Manager, as well
- as the ClipMate Icon in your Startup group (if you put it there).
-
- Please note that no changes were made to your WIN.INI, System.INI,
- or any other Windows system files. There are no hidden files.

-
- Known Problems:
- --------------
- Norton Desktop for Windows users should upgrade to Norton Desktop
- version 2.0.
- Version 2.0 will work, if you make this change:
- To make ClipMate (and most other programs compiled with a Borland
- compiler) compatible with NDW v 2.0: make a change to the NDW.INI
- file, which is found in the Windows directory.
- In the [NHookSettings] section of NDW.INI, set Int21hHook=0.
- Like this:
- [NHookSettings]
- Int21hHook=0
- There is sometimes a problem in conveting a clipmate data file from
- previous releases. If you run into a General Protection Fault when
- converting an old file, you will need to delete, or rename the
- file. If possible, send it to us, so that we can see what is
- causing the problem.

- (apps like Office 95, and Microsoft Network)
- - Rich Text Format is now selected by default, when copying from OLE32 applications,
- even if TEXT isn't present. This is particularly useful with MSN shortcuts.
- - Fixed problem with .WMF serial numbers wrapping incorrectly when larger than 32768
- (probably wouldn't happen in real life).
- 3.13 (09/01/95)
- - File Commands "Save As" and "New" didn't properly name the new file being
- created. Didn't affect users who use "default.clm" for everything (most users).
- 3.12 (08/24/95)
- - For new installations, the default file name was incorrectly determined.
- It should have been: "default.clm". Instead, it was "untitled.clm".
- - If you had a data file with a name other than "default.clm", ClipMate
- wouldn't find it.
- 3.11 (08/20/95)
- - Registration button on nag screen didn't call the right help topic.
- - Clarified AOL download instructions.
- 3.10 (08/17/95)

- "WordPerfect Text (6.0)".
- - Fixed Windows 95 problem which caused the filter file (clipfltr.ini) to
- contain garbage. (Due to this fix, your old filter file will be deleted).
- - Fixed Filter problem that caused long format names to be truncated.
- (Really long names)
- - AutoSave - Optional file save every x minutes.
- - Fixed problem with Magnification Window, where the default display format was TEXT,
