- Modula and the Clipboard
-
- The basic files for Modula are:
-
- CLIPBOAR.DEF, CLIPBOAR.MOD source for clipboard library
- TESTCLIP.MOD example program source
- TESTCLIP.TOS example program
- MAKEFILE makefile for the Modula sources
- CLIP.PRG \AUTO\ program
- READ.ME this file
-
- The clipboard info and the file clip.prg was from Russ
- Wetmore's clipboard posting. He released clip.prg to the public
- domain.
-
- The library is basically a translation from Wetmore's
- documentation and shows its leaning to the C language. For
- example, PutClip would be easier to use if it would pass a string,
- rather than the address of a buffer. GetClip passes the address of
- an address and is not standard Modula. The library was tested by
- running testclip. It did what it was designed to do, and anything
- else should be tested.
-
- There was a problem that PutClip did not work until we
- changed the order in which the parameters were passed. *********
-
- The clip.sys file seems to go away after it is used. Does it
- become a system file? We are confused as to the location of
- clip.sys. It goes to whatever device is current and is used first.
- Basically, we got the program testclip to run, and are waiting on
- more info on what the clipboard is to go beyond there.
-
- The Modula used is from Jefferson Software. It is based on
- the most recent version of Modula from Wirth, the third edition,
- and is not completely compatable with TDI's version of Modula
- which is based on the second edition. Send any problems to us.
-
- Jefferson Software includes the source to the libraries in
- their Modula 2 Development System. You may use the source in this
- example as long as you agree to include the copyright notice, name
- address and phone number of Jefferson Software anywhere the source
- is used.
