General Stuff:
--------------
    ClipSave is handy little utility to save the clipboard across boots 
(technical jargon for saves the clipboard when you restart).  When you 
Shut Down or Restart, ClipSave saves your Clipboard in the file ClipSave 
Data in the preferences folder in your System Folder.  Then, when you run 
the application again, it copies whatever is in the file into your 
Clipboard.

Instructions:
-------------
    ClipSave is an application.  When run, it looks for its prefs file, 
copies whatever was saved into the Clipboard, installs its save procedure 
into the ShutDown Queue, and quits.  This means that ClipSave can only 
save the Clipboard if you run the application.  If you want the Clipboard 
saved every time you Restart or Shut Down, and restored every time you 
start up, just put ClipSave in the folder called "Startup Items" inside 
the System Folder (System 7), or use "Set Startup" to make ClipSave the 
startup application (System 6).

Other Uses:
-----------
    ClipSave has another handy feature.  You can have the same thing put in 
the Clipboard every time you start up.  To use this feature, do the 
following:
¥   Run ClipSave
¥   Copy what you want into the Clipboard
¥   Copy ClipRecover into the Startup Items folder or Set Startup to 
     ClipRecover, depending on what system you're using
¥   Restart
     Now, the same thing will be put into the Clipboard every time you start up.

Errors:
-------
	In both ClipSave and ClipRecover, beeping indicates an error.  If you 
hear two beeps when you run either application, that means that the 
application failed to find a saved copy of the Clipboard.  If ClipRecover 
signaled the error, run ClipSave and Restart.  Ignore ClipSave's beeping.  
If ClipSave signaled the error, just Restart and a copy of the Clipboard 
will be saved.
	If there were three beeps, an internal application error occurred.  The 
application could be damaged or out of memory.

Quick recap:
------------
¥ ClipSave      Restores the old Clipboard and sets up the system to save the 
Clipboard upon Restart or Shut Down
¥ ClipRecover   Just restores the old Clipboard

Bugs, Future Versions, and Improvements:
----------------------------------------
    If there is any demand, I will probably continue to improve this program 
until it ceases to be useful.  If you have any ideas for improvements, 
complaints, or bug reports, please send them to me at the addresses at the 
bottom of this document.  Feel free to call or write with problems, 
questions, comments, etc. Don't hesitate; I don't mind at all, and, 
chances are, I'll write back (I <LIKE> mail).  If you are sending a bug 
report, please give me as much information as possible.  Being able to 
reproduce the bug is kinda crucial.  I already have some ideas for future 
versions, such as:
¥ Control Panel/Extension interface
¥ Improved memory stuff
¥ Cooler icons
¥ etc...

Background:
-----------
    ClipSave is my first semi-major project in C.  It was written in THINK C 
5.0.4 with much help from THINK Reference.  I just had a need to save the 
clipboard over boots one day, and I decided to write a program to do it, 
because, to my knowledge, there wasn't one already in existence. 

Technicalities:
---------------
The ClipSave package should include:
ClipSave            the application
ClipRecover         an application to restore the Clipboard without saving when 
                     you Restart or Shutdown

The author, Russ Nelson, is not responsible for anything done by this 
program.  Use at your own risk.  It has been tested somewhat, but no 
guarantees are made.

The ClipSave package is free, but it's not public domain. This means that 
you can give it to anyone you want, but you can't charge money for it 
without prior written authorization from the author, and the distribution 
must include the entire package.

The ClipSave package is WhateverWare.  If you like it, send me a postcard 
or some money, or donate to your favorite charity, or bake some brownies, 
or call your grandmother, or whatever.  Hence the name.
