December 18th 1997 (Verison 0.7)

0.7 Added position in string indicator. Tidied up some internals.

0.6 Working version !! Uses clipboard selection. Added
    more characters to the bitmap set.
    Removed screen scrolling and added info form.
    Resized form again. 

0.5 Rewrite to remove animated scrolling. It turned
    out to be too difficult to know where you were in a list of
    characters. Say there were 7 5's in a row , you wouldnt know
    which one you have just seen.
    Scrolling now uses Page Up and Down keys or scvreen presses.
    Invert current character.
    Add some alphabet characters. 

0.3 made the form smaller to only really have the text.
    This then lends itself to be more of an overlay.

0.1 Initial test version


Note this is not a commercial or shareware app. I am writing it mainly
for myself but will also be giving it away free. I was just interested
in some feedback from other people.

   NOTE . Hot sync your pilot if you are going to use it there.
   I also am not sure how this will react with hacks installed 
   expecially cliphack. I dont think there will be a problem
   but you know better safe than sorry.

        Please do a backup before running this for the first time.

This would probably be really neat as a hack but i have no time for doing that.

Here is how i use this;
I have The ToDO button set up to run bigclip.

I go to what i want to see , hilite it then do /C ( copy to clipboard)
then press the ToDo button. A bit cumbersome but worth the effort for me.
