TITLE
ClipBook - Store multiple text & graphic clips for later use
VERSION
1.2
AUTHOR

DESCRIPTION
I spent a couple of summers working on Macs writing documentation.
One of the most useful tools was the Mac Scrapbook, which allows you
to store any number of 'clips' (text and graphics) and then copy any
one to the clipboard so you can paste it into applications.
Items were placed in the scrapbook via the normal cut'n'paste keys.
In fact, I liked it so much that I wrote this - The Amiga
Clipbook commodity.
The Clipbook allows you to store text and graphics clips, scan through
them and copy any of them to the standard Amiga clipboard.
They can then be pasted into applications. To put something into
the Clipbook you simply have to copy it from an application and paste
it into the Clipbook.
Each clip in the Clipbook is displayed if possible. At the moment
only FTXT and ILBM clips are shown. Others can be stored but not
displayed.
This is useful for logos, 'standard' blocks of text, graphics you use
often etc etc. If you use a particular graphics brush often then
instead of having to load it (and remember the path!) each time you
can simply store it in the clipboard and copy it out each time you
need it.
FEATURES
Clipbook opens on publicscreens.
Can be forced to open on *any* screen. (Useful as you don't
have to keep flicking between screens.)
Displays ILBM clips.
Each clip can be named, so even clips it can't display can be
identified.
Can use any viewer to view the whole clip. (Such as Multiview)
Can use different viewers for different types of clips
Can be controlled completely from the keyboard (and mouse of course!)
Can load clips into the Clipbook from any IFF file.
Can be told to automatically paste anything that's cut/copied
directly into the Clipbook.
It's a commodity, so has hotkey and other normal Commodity goodies

Will work from floppies, but has been designed with
