DragText v2.0 is now available.
DragText is the Warp enhancement that lets you handle text as an object. Use
drag and drop to copy, move, save, or delete text in windows, files, URL
objects, and the clipboard.
Version 2 is a major update that uses a revised architecture and adds these
new features:
- VIO (text-mode) window support via the clipboard. Mouse-initiated text
marking is included.
- A WPS-based Clipboard object that operates like a DragText-enabled window.
The object can be opened to display a floating clipboard viewer and
editor.
- Drop text or a file on an existing DragText file to append it to the
existing text.
- Open program objects by dropping text on them.
- Print dragged text by dropping it on a printer object.
In addition, you can now:
- drag URLs from Netscape for OS/2 into supported windows (this assumes the
GA release will operate like beta 2)
- delay loading DT at startup until the WPS and other apps are initialized
- open DragText files in Text View under Object Desktop v1.5, provided
provided Fixkit 2 in installed.
DragText's Basic features (drag and drop text) are free. Its Extended features
(File, URL, VIO, and Clipboard features) are shareware and require
registration after your 6-week free trial ends. The cost is $15-20(US).
International users are welcome to use a check drawn in any major currency for
the equivalent of $20(US).
