- DOSCLIP (Version 1.0)
- Command
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Douglas Boling April 14, 1992 (Utilities)
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Purpose: A TSR utility that provides Windows-like cut-and-paste
- facilities to applications running under DOS, and which permits transfer
- of text blocks between Windows (in 386 Enhanced mode) and DOS applications
- when running under Windows.
-
- Format: DOSCLIP [/B] [/U]
-
- Remarks: DOSCLIP is loaded from the DOS prompt and requires 10K
- when memory resident. The optional /B switch parameter is required only
- with video boards that do not conform to the IBM video standard. Entering
- DOSCLIP with the /U switch uninstalls the program, subject to the usual
- TSR limitations.
-
- The default pop-up hotkey is Alt-C, which brings up DOSCLIP over
- the application and replaces the underline cursor with a block-style
- cursor used to define an on-screen text area to be saved to the clipboard.
- The arrow keys, PgUp and PgDn, Home, and End are used to move the DOSCLIP
- cursor; Ctrl-Left Arrow and Ctrl-Right Arrow move it laterally in eight
- -character jumps. To block an area, place the cursor in one corner and
- move it to the diagonally opposite corner while holding down the Shift
- key. After releasing the Shift key, the defined area is saved to the
- clipboard by pressing Enter or the C key.
-
- A defined text area can be pasted into another application by
- pressing Alt-V or by bringing up DOSCLIP with Alt-C and then pressing
- V. The default pop-up and paste hotkeys can be changed by using PATCH.COM
- (Utilities, November 12, 1991) and the DOSCLIP.ZIF (DOSCLI.ZIF) file,
- both of which can be downloaded from PC MagNet.
-
- When used in conjunction with Windows, it is desirable to load
- DOSCLIP before starting Windows, memory permitting. This will make
- DOSCLIP available to all Windows sessions. Windows should also be run
- in 386 Enhanced mode if possible so that data captured in DOSCLIP can
- be pasted into Windows applications and vice versa.
