  Thanks for the explanation.

  I downloaded a library for clipboard operations from user contributions
made by Jacques Deschenes.
  It doesn't work for WinNT4.

  So far as I know, there is nothing in user contributions for
clipboard programming operations that will work on WinNT4.

  Could someone make this and add it to user contributions?
(
I mean like a package that includes:
  --  a .e file or .ew file as a library
  --  a .txt file or .doc file to explain stuff
  --  possibly a .exw file to demo stuff
Just like Jacques Deschenes did, but for Windows NT4.

  I could use it.
