ClipMate will run on XP, 2000, NT4, WinME, Win98, and most Win95 systems.
If you have Win95 with IE4, then it will run, otherwise it won't.
Win95+IE4 is the base requirement.
Upgrade Notes From 6.0
----------------------
Shutdown ClipMate if it's running. Install into the same directory, and it will replace
the old one. There are no database issues when moving from v6.0 to v6.1.
Upgrade Notes From 5.x
----------------------
ClipMate 6 is completely oblivious to ClipMate 5, except that
the installer will attempt to find and remove the shortcut to
ClipMate 5 in the startup folder, so that you don't have
two versions running.
ClipMate 6 will not harm your ClipMate 5 data! It installs into
a different location, and keeps data in a separate place. You can
import your ClipMate 5 data into ClipMate 6 through the File menu.
This is a one-way import.
Install into a different directory than 5.x. When you are prompted to create a data
directory, choose a different directory than your 5.x data.
After ClipMate 6 is up and running, you can import your 5.x collections - see
File | Import.
NOTE: Do not force ClipMate 6 to use the same data directory as ClipMate5.
This would make it hard to eventually delete your ClipMate5 data.
REVISION HISTORY
----------------
x = fixed/addressed
e = enhanced
Changes since 6.1.01
----------------------
// x Setup - The 6.1.0 and 6.1.01 installers mistakenly placed the uninstaller in the
// /windows/system directory. This caused the ClipMate uninstall to fail, or
// mention other products (which also may have misplaced THEIR uninstallers).
// If you find a file called UNWISE.EXE in that directory, you can remove it.
// This is now fixed.
// x Fixed a tooltip problem where one tooltip wouldn't turn off, if you opted to hide tooltips.
// x Search - if you did a search, the "view last collection (F5)" function wouldn't go back
// to the right collection.
// e Search - Re-arranged the panels, and made the search panel a little bit smarter. It will
// now position the cursor on the field that you last searched on (title, text, creator, etc.)
// x Database - There was a particular database situation that was incorrectly flagged as an error.
Changes since 6.1.00
----------------------
// x Fixed "Fancy Menu" problem which caused the menus to appear "plain" on some systems.
// x Fixed Thesaurus problem, where it wouldn't recognize the UK thesaurus. Now it will.
Changes since 6.0.08
----------------------
// e Various enhancement for Visually Impaired users:
// e Option to remove icons from menus.
// e Option to remove HTML formatting from hints, buttons.
// e Allow editor window font sizes larger than 16 pt.
// e You can now have "small icons" in Explorer and Editor. See the User Preferences pages for Explorer and Editor.
// e Thesaurus! If you install the Roget Thesaurus, ClipMate can now use it. Right-click on a word to activate.
// e Sort arrows on collection headings - have been changed to act like most other applications.
// e Shorter startup times.
// e Added Character and Word count to the Editor.
// e Windows95 users can opt to turn off the Fancy Hints, which will fix the display problems.
// e Enhancements to Search:
// e Added search results highlighting.
// e Add Collection as search criteria
// e Support for %like% operator.
// e Performance Improvment - Added "threshold" for QuickPick. Now it won't start filtering until you've
// typed at least two characters of the search string. This prevents flooding
// of results, which causes slowdowns with large collections.
// e Added collection title to Explorer titlebar.
// e Add Spellcheck Configuration to Config menu.
// e Some enhancements to the About box, accomodate longer registration keys.
// e Enhanced Logging
// x Fixed Text Clean-Up bug where it would miss the end of the data if you
// were adding linebreaks or >> marks.
// x Fixed problems with recalling complex queries for re-use.
// x Fixed error during PowerPaste - if you deleted a clip, it would blow up. Fixed.
// x Fixed several access violations and other errors.
// x KeepAlive would turn itself back on, if turned off. Now it will stay off.
// x If there are no clips, then the titlebar doesn't change to the next collection when you switch collections.
// x Supress "empty trash" msg after first showing.
// x Improved ability to locate and display graphics in the HTML viewer.
// x Record edits before invoking remove linebreaks command (or others). Art Milholland. He was having odd results from the command buttons due to manual edits that werent' recorded.
// x Fixed blow-up when cancelling search.
// x Editor didn't let you repeatedly shift a block of data. - Fixed.
// x Added Change Case to systray menu.
// x If you selected an empty collection the titlebar of Classic didn't update to show the collection name..

Outstanding Issues:
Need to order/indent the collection menu to resemble the tree, like in v5.
Changes from 6.0.06
-------------------
// x Added logging
// x Modified End-User License Agreement to provide for same user running second instance
// of the program, such as with a Desktop and Laptop. Modified license manager accordingly.
Changes from 6.0.06
-------------------
// e Added Option for full-height collection tree in Explorer. See Config | User Prefs | Explorer
// e Ability to override sound events. See "Sounds" in the online help.
// e Shortcuts and QuickPick now work within Explorer as well as Classic.
// x Removed several access violations.

Changes from 6.0.05
-------------------
// x Fixed problem where clips would be mis-placed if you edited them when they were part of the "search results" collection.
// x Lost edits when using move/copy buttons. If you edited a clip, and then immediately moved/copied
// to another collection, the edits were lost.
// x Fixed problem with AutoSpell and Highlite HTML in Classic. There was no way to turn these off.
// They are now available on the right-click menu. They will also turn off automatically if they encounter errors
// when parsing the data.
// x Added protection against disabling all databases.
// x Added protection against deleting sortkeys, which caused data not to load on subsequent restarts.
// x OnTop causing redraw/transparency problems. - Fixed.
// x Upgraded printing engine to v1.8
// x Allow changing/elimination of print report title. So if you are tired of "ClipMate Report" at the
// top of your prints, you can change/eliminate the title.
// x You can now set Classic and/or Explorer to auto-load. Both are auto-loading by default. Turn on/off in
// User Preferences (Classic and Explorer tabs, respectively).
// x Updated Minimum Requrements to be Win95 with IE4. Native (non-upgraded Win95) systems will not run
// ClipMate 6.
// x Turned off IECache loading by default. This improves startup time, and does not seem to affect the HTML display.
// x Fixed problem with Query dialog where kept turning off the "format" selection.
// x Made change to database properties dialog so that when you mark the database as multi-user, the
// cleanup is set to never run.
// x Fixed problem with interim build 361 where clips weren't being shown in preview window
// during search/trash/shortcut operations. This build was only released to beta testers.
Changes from 6.0.04
-------------------
// x Fixed nickname problem where the 6.0.02 fix made nicknames inoperative
// x Change to status messages to avoid range check errors
// x Changed sorting problem where new clips would go "on top" of the ClipList, regarding of sort preference.
Changes from 6.0.03
-------------------
// x Fixed problem with Shortcut carry-over, as it was too agressive if you already
// had defined a shortcut.
// x Fixed problem with "Unable To Display Text" exception.
// x Fixed version as reported in About box. (now shows "04" instead of "4")
// x Fixed problem displaying '&' character in clip list.
// x Documentation issue with ShortCuts/QuickPick.
// x Note: Build 356 released briefly with incorrect version check info.
Changes from 6.0.02
-------------------
// x Fixed problem with display in Classic following Search. Columns would overwrite each other.
// x Changed behavior of PowerPaste to avoid the wrong clip being pasted if you re-selected a
// clip outside of the original selection. This will be enhanced further in a future release
// to allow you to select any clip once a PowerPaste has been initiated. For now, however,
// selecting a clip outside of the original selection range will cancel PowerPaste, and you
// can just turn it back on again. But the results will be predictable now.
Changes from 6.0.01
-------------------
// x Made item type icons optional - if you don't like the little icons (notepad, bitmap, etc.)
// next to the clips in the ClipList, you can turn them off. See Config | User Prefs | Appearance.
// x Won't load IECache if not using IE. If you are on Win95 with IE 3.0 or earlier, this should
// allow ClipMate 6 to run on older Win95 systems.
// x Removed Unwanted "ding" when invoking Shortcuts or QuickPick. Thanks Paul Thornett
// x Font issue in Classic - wasn't paying attention to font override (important on Japanese systems).
// x The spellcheck configuration screen was being placed off-screen on some systems.
// Now it should be on-scren. It's positioned a bit oddly, but it should be visible.
// x Corrected Access Violation issue with deleting clips.
// e Added information on wordwrap to Help.
KNOWN ISSUES
------------
One user with a laser printer with high DPI reported problems printing. The temporary
solution was to install a second driver (HP LJet 4), which corrected the problem. We are working on
