- Clipboard NDA v1.0 P.O. Box 287
- North Liberty, IA 52317

- ======================== [GEnie mail D.LYONS2]
-
- Install Clipboard NDA in your SYSTEM/DESK.ACCS folder; choose
- it ("Show Clipboard") from the Apple menu of any desktop
- application. While the Clipboard NDA window is in front, you
- can put its credits onto the clipboard (and, therefore, into
- the window) by typing Apple-C or Apple-X, or by choosing Copy
- or Cut from the Edit menu.
-
- Some applications already have a "Show Clipboard" option under
- their Edit menus. This NDA is more useful for applications that
- don't, although it may help you determine how well an application
- is following the rules. (Some applications have their own private
- clipboard; this is fine, but they are supposed to automatically
- exchange data between their private clipboards and the system's
- clipboard, as implemented with the Scrap Manager.)
-
- Finder v1.0 has a "Show Clipboard" option, but it fails to notice
- when an NDA changes the contents of the clipboard. (Also, it
- fails to scroll Text correctly.)
-
- I have had problems with Paintworks Gold and MultiScribe GS 3.01c.
- Paintworks does not seem to Copy pictures onto the clipboard, and
- MultiScribe GS 3.01c crashes into the monitor while trying to
- import text from the system clipboard to its private clipboard.
-
- When you open Clipboard NDA, it loads and starts up any of the
- following toolsets that are not already loaded and started up:
- Scrap Manager, Font Manager, and QuickDraw Auxiliary. When the
- application quits, Clipboard NDA carefully shuts down and unloads
- any toolsets it loaded when it was opened.
-
- While the NDA is open, it asks the Scrap Manager approximately
- once per second (using GetScrapCount) whether the clipboard
- contents have changed. If any PICT data is available, it is
- displayed, assuming the Font Manager and QuickDraw Auxiliary are
- available. Otherwise any TEXT data on the clipboard is displayed.
