- If you aren't sure whether or not this program will be useful to you, please
- read the snip.doc file right through. There are a *lot* of situations where
- this program can be helpful, and I've made it as flexible as possible.

- Possible uses:
-
- - importing text from a terminal program, CLI window, or really any
- window into any word-processor/text-editor
- - taking commands, parts of commands, one or more filenames etc from
- the screen and feeding them back as new input
- - this can be within a terminal program: a filename to download,
- a Unix command someone else is executing, a number you want
- to re-dial but don't have bound to a function key
- - from within a CLI you can re-execute a command you gave in that
- or in another CLI
- - you can snip multiple filenames from a directory listing and
- apply some command to them, eg delete, less, or copy
- - keeping a record of what comes up on your screen by sending output
- to a file or the printer (or the clipboard or a pipe)
- - something someone says in an on-line conversation
- - an e-mail address, short example program or anything else
- you want to quickly and efficiently download without having to
- edit it
- - program output that you want to remember without typing it in
- again, or re-running the program (eg compiler errors)
-
- Good points:
-
- - works with any window, whether opened by the console device or not
- - flexible output options; output destination can be changed at any time
- - source is included so you can customize to your heart's content
- - works with any 8 x 8 font; you can use the supplied SNIPGEN and
- SetFont programs to create a font definition file for Snip to use
