- ClipName V1.1, January 29 1996

- How often have you wanted to get the full pathname of a file, but file
- manager and explorer don't let you, so you wind up actually *typing*
- parts of the name? For me it was too often, so I wrote this little
- utility to help. Very simple usage: drag file name(s) from file manager
- or explorer and drop on this program, and the names will be copied to
- the clipboard. If more than one name is given, they are placed on
- separate lines when pasted into a document.
-
- See the help file for usage information.
-
- Installation is simple:
-
- Copy ClipName.exe and ClipName.hlp anywhere you like. Arrange to
- launch it as you see fit (depends on which UI you're using - see
- the help file for details).
-
- On the Win95 interface, you can place a shortcut to ClipName in
- the SendTo folder. To find the SendTo folder, click the Start
- button, and then click Run. Type Sendto in the Run dialog box.
- This opens an explorer window on the "Send To" folder. Place a
- shortcut here however you like. I name it "Pathname to
- Clipboard" so it's reasonably intuitive when hanging off the
- "Send To" menu.
-
- ClipName is public domain, freeware. Feel free to copy it as long as
- this file is copied also and I retain credit for its creation.
-
- Please direct comments, complaints, questions, feature requests, etc, to
