- NoCR v0.2.5
-
- This is a Windows program that will delete the final CR (carriage return)
- and LF (line feed) from the clipboard. This is intended to address a
- limitation of the DOS shell that you can run from 386 Enhanced mode,
- notably that when you copy text from a DOS shell, it always appends an
- extra CR and LF to the buffer. This program removes it for you.
-
- This program has two modes. The default mode is a passive one in which
- the extra CR and LF are only removed if you request the program to do so.
- You do this by selecting "Remove CR" from the system menu or by simply
- double clicking on the icon (or by clicking with the right button).
-
- Alternatively, you can run NoCR in "Automatic" mode in which the program
- will automatically remove any extra CR and LF's added to the end of a
- buffer. The advantage of this automatic mode is that it requires no user
- intervention to remove the extra CR and LF. The disadvantage is that you
- may not wish to have those final CR and LF removed if you are using a
- different application. While I have not been able to reproduce any
- negative side effects while using other applications, you may experience
- the loss of a final CR and LF where it is not desirable.
-
- As mentioned above, if you are using "Automatic" mode, this program may or
- may not remove the final CRLF from the clipboard when used with some other
- Windows programs. The NoC simply checks to see if there is text in the
- clipboard and if so, removes the final CRLF. Fortunately, most windows
- programs, like Notepad, use a slightly different clipboard format for text
- (CF_TEXT) than the DOS-shell does (CF_OEMTEXT), and NoCR only removes the
- final CRLF from the latter. It is possible that other applications may
- use the CF_OEMTEXT format as well, though, so you may experience the
- removal of the final CRLF from these applications as well.
-
- Anyway, feel free to try this program out. It is Freeware, meaning that
- it may be copied for personal use without fee. NoCR is copyright 1992 by

-
- I would appreciate any comments that you may have, especially if you come
- across any bugs/limitations of any sort. Feel free to contact me at the
- following email address. Thanks.

- Changes since v0.2.1:
- Checks to see what the first enumerated type is. If it is not text
- (i.e. the format used by a DOS window), do nothing. Previously this
- would cause programs using other formats, such as Excel, to crash with
- a UAE. This is fixed. Also, added hide icon feature.
