MEGACLIP VERSION .02 NOW AVAILABLE
Hollister, CA February 2, 1997 - Dan Libby announces that the second beta of
OS/2's premier clipboard utility has been made available for public testing.
Are you sick and tired of copying something to the clipboard only to have it
replaced seconds later by something else? Where did it go? The default OS/2
clipboard metaphor is incomplete. Real clipboards allow a person to put a
whole bunch of papers in it... fortunately so does Megaclip!!
MegaClip is a utility to manage multiple OS/2 PM clipboards. It is inspired in
part by the IBM EWS program "ManyClip", as well as a popular Windows clipboard
program. MegaClip's key feature over ManyClip is its ability to handle
bitmaps and metafiles in addition to text.
New features in version .02 include:
- Multiple clip selection/removal in container
- Settings notebook (with Warp 4 look)
- Memory options
- Save options
- Text clip defaults
- Bitmap clip defaults
- Window colors/fonts retained
- Clips may be renamed via ALT + mouse click
- Container window resizeable
- Strip newlines from text clips
- Arrange feature made WarpCenter aware (won't cover it)
- improved window management and drawing
- bug fixes
Other benefits include the ability to view more than one clipboard at a time
(multiple windows), to view details about the clip (date, time, size, etc),
and to 'hold' one clip in the system clipboard -- even while copying other
clips. Clips may be stored within the main program window or placed directly
on the desktop and it is possible to turn off 'Auto-Retrieve' so that only
desired clips are retained.
