'Yankee Clipper Plus' Clipboard Editor
By Jan Kijlstra

The MMD-editors do have good reasons for the way in which the MMD is
reaching us: a huge e-mail.  I'm using Windows 95, and I edit an
edition by highlighting a part, copy it to the clipboard, and printing
it out.

But there is a better way: I downloaded the freeware Yankee Clipper
Plus, and now I can make "boilerplates", a kind of a template.  A
boilerplate can be devoted to a subject, and each boilerplate can hold
up to 50 pieces of text.

Since Yankee Clipper runs every time I boot my system, and it saves
each consecutive clipboard content, I now am able to edit several
MMD-Digests in a row, just by selecting a piece of text, copying it
onto a selected boilerplate, selecting the next text, and so on.

Afterwards I can edit my selections, but a boilerplate also is very
nice when used as a kind of text-database.

If you are using a Windows 95 system, you should download Yankee
Clipper Plus!  It's the best utility for Windows 95 I've seen for quite
a while, and it's absolutely free.  Amazing, but true.

You will find it in many places, also on its home page:

You can email the writer of this very fine freeware: lvasseur@tiac.net
