- The PastebordInspector is a NeXTstep application which allows you to
- examine the contents of the current pasteboards (see the NeXT
- Developer documentation and the for more information on the
- Pasteboard). It also allows you to examine what the current selection
- would be on the pasteboard if used through services. It does this by
- making itself a service. You simply need to click on the Examine
- Pasteboard menu item under Services to do this. The Pastebord
- Inspector automatically looks at the current pasteboard when it starts
- up (and it looks at the services pasteboard when started from
- services). To examine the contents of any one of the four standard
- pasteboards at any time just select its name in the pasteboard
- browser. You may edit some of the pasteboard types and put them back
- using the Put Back button. I apologize that there isn't much help for
- Pasteboard Inspector, but it should be straight forward.
-
- I originally wrote Pasteboard Inspector as somewhat of a hack to
- examine the contents of the pasteboard while working on a project that
- used the pasteboard extensively. It grew up somewhat from there as
- some of my colleges asked for exapanded capabilities. This is by far
- not what I would call a complete project, but it provides some example
- as to how to use the pasteboard - and can be of great help when
- working on applications that write to the pasteboard. It will find
- non-standard types on the pasteboard, but not any non-standard
- pasteboards.
-
- To compile Pasteboard Inspector simply execute the "make" command in a
- shell while in the Pasteboard Inspector directory.

- If you have any questions, comments, wants, or gripes feel free to
