ClipName V1.2, April 10 1996 Bob Beck (rbk@teleport.com) How often have you wanted to get the full pathname of a file, but file manager and explorer don't let you, so you wind up actually *typing* parts of the name? For me it was too often, so I wrote this little utility to help. Very simple usage: drag file name(s) from file manager or explorer and drop on this program, and the names will be copied to the clipboard. If more than one name is given, they are placed on separate lines when pasted into a document. See the help file for usage information. Installation is simple: Copy ClipName.exe and ClipName.hlp anywhere you like. Arrange to launch it as you see fit (depends on which UI you're using - see the help file for details). On the Win95 interface, you can place a shortcut to ClipName in the SendTo folder. To find the SendTo folder, click the Start button, and then click Run. Type Sendto in the Run dialog box. This opens an explorer window on the "Send To" folder. Place a shortcut here however you like. I name it "Pathname to Clipboard" so it's reasonably intuitive when hanging off the "Send To" menu. ClipName is public domain, freeware. Feel free to copy it as long as this file is copied also and I retain credit for its creation. Version 1.2 adds conversion of 8.3 path names to full path names (fixes problem when a shortcut to ClipName is a drag&drop target, or ClipName is used on the "SendTo" menu). Please direct comments, complaints, questions, feature requests, etc, to me (rbk@teleport.com). The latest copy of ClipName may be found at: http://www.teleport.com/~rbk/software/ - Bob Beck
