About ClipAppend
ClipAppend is a simple control panel that extends the normal functionality of cutting and copying text to the Macintosh clipboard. Usually, when you cut or copy something to the clipboard, you replace whatever is stored there. But with ClipAppend installed, you can add text to the clipboard instead of replacing text.
System Requirements
ClipAppend requires System 7 or higher. To see the About Box, you should have a color monitor although it isn't required.
The INIT code that does most of the work for ClipAppend is "fat" so it runs on 680x0 machines and also native on PowerPC machines. The cdev code that runs the control panel itself is entirely 680x0. Since the current Finder is also entirely 680x0, this should actually be faster, even on a PowerPC machine.
Price
ClipAppend is free!

Other Programs
Here's a few of my other programs:
•Finder Windows: Have you ever wished that the Finder had a simple "Window" menu like many other applications? Finder Windows is a control panel that adds a "Window" menu to the Finder. You can now see a list of all the Finder's open windows, choose among them, stack them, and arrange them. Finder Windows is available at Info-Mac and other popular Macintosh shareware archives. The latest version (as of the writing of this ReadMe file) is 1.2.1.
•KeyCommander: Don't you hate it when applications don't have command-key equivalents for some frequently-used menu items? KeyCommander is a control panel that lets you fix that problem by allowing you to add command-key equivalents to applications. And it does all of this in RAM without directly modifying the applications themselves. It features a snazzy user interface. Available at Info-Mac and other popular Macintosh shareware archives, the latest version (as of the writing of this ReadMe file) is 1.0.
•File Merger: This is a small drag-and-drop utility that merges together the data forks of files such as text files. It is useful if you download binhexed segments off of Usenet, work with large text-based data files, and other things. It is available at Info-Mac and other popular Macintosh shareware archives. The latest version (as of the writing of this ReadMe file) is 1.1.
•Addiction Manager: This is a program that helps people manage their addictions to computer games or other stuff (like the internet). It is available at Info-Mac and other popular Macintosh shareware archives. The latest version (as of the writing of this ReadMe file) is 1.0.1.
•Sokoban 3D: This computer game, based on the classic Sokoban game, puts you into a 3-D puzzle from the first-person point-of-view. It is available at Info-Mac and other popular Macintosh shareware archives. The latest version (as of the writing of this ReadMe file) is 1.0.1.
