Installation Notes: ------------------- To install ClipMate, just copy all of the Distribution Files to the directory of your choice. It doesn't need to be in the path, and there are no funny environment variables to set. For the lack of anything better, create \windows\clipmate, and put the files there. Create an icon in the program manager with a Command Line that points to ClipMate. For example: C:\windows\clipmate\clipmate.exe Effect on Your System: ---------------------- The first time that you run ClipMate, it will create \windows\clipmate.ini. WIN.INI is NOT altered in any way, nor are any of your other system files. See CLIPMATE.INI in the on-line help. ClipMate will create and save the clipboard data into DEFAULT.CLM, or another .CLM file that you specify. System Requirements: -------------------- Windows 3.x, running in Standard or Enhanced mode. VGA or better display. Monchrome vga is ok. Mouse. Bug Reports: ------------ Please send any bug reports, along with a description of your system (hardware and software) to CompuServ id: 70743,2546 or Chris Thornton PO Box 26263 Rochester, NY 14626 Known Problems: -------------- Norton Desktop for Windows and Turbo Pascal for Windows have a compatibility problem. Until the vendors hash this out, ClipMate won't run under Norton Desktop. As a temporary workaround, disable NDW's Launch Manager. Several users have reported that this works, and that this is an acceptable interim solution. Symantec a fix for this, but it will cost you a slight performance penalty. Contact Symantec Customer Support for more information on this, and mention that you're having problems running programs that were written using Borland's Object Windows Library. Revision History: ----------------- v1.14 (3/07/92) Fine tuning of 8515 fonts - used on some XGA systems. Included info on BONUS utilities. v1.12 (3/02/92) Fix for 8514 fonts. Window didn't size correctly when 8514 fonts were used in some 800x600 SVGA modes. ASP logo fixed to diaplay properly on monochrome screens. Magnification Window used to ignore manual edit changes when the "Wrap Text?" checkbox was clicked. This is now fixed. v1.11 (2/13/92) Documentation and screens updated to reflect author membership in the ASP. I started using the (TM) thing. CLMHYPE.TXT has been replaced by CLMVEND.TXT. v1.10 (2/6/92) Version 1.10 adds several enhancements to the Magnification Window. There is also a help button in the Config Dialog. v1.05 (1/22/92) Find and FindNext didn't actually put anything on the Clipboard. Now they do! v1.04 (1/21/92) On some XGA systems, the system font was so wide that it caused the menu to wrap, which caused some of the controls to be hidden. The wide font is now detected, and the window is sized accordingly. v1.03 (1/07/92) Fixed problem with Concatenate: Bug in Windows causes negative values to sometimes be returned for MAXAVAIL, which checks to see if there is enough contiguous free memory to complete the concatenation. Negative values are now ignored. v1.02 (1/06/92) Fixed RunTime error 204 - occurred when editing Magnification Window, in the event that the user deletes the item that is being edited. v1.01 (1/02/92) Minor bug fixes: Problem with memory allocation. Problem switching to an empty list - contents of other list were shown. v1.0 (12/23/91) is the initial release .CLM files created with versions prior to 0.84 beta are invalid, and should be discarded. You beta-testers know who you are!
