-----------------------------------------------------------------------



                              What is it?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SpyClipboard2.1 copies the current text contents of the clipboard to a
second monitor.  It is a windows 3.1 application written in VC++1.5.  It
installs itself on the clipboard chain.


                      Is it Shareware or Freeware?

Please drop me a line to say hello if you use this.

                           Birth of an Idea.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I had an extra monochrome monitor from an earlier computer setup.  I use
SpyClipboard with my new computer.  All I had to do was take out the old
monochrome card from the old computer and stick it in a slot in the new
computer.  Before this, I wrote a TSR to run in DOS that copies the
current page on the vga monitor to the monochrome monitor.  It is called
Pagepop and is still available.  I am considering what to do for Windows
NT.


                               Problems?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
There is no problem running the computer with two monitors as long as
you make sure that you are not reallocating B000-B0FF to UMBs.
Otherwise you have to exclude this region in the config.sys file when
you load the extended memory manager, for example:

device = EMM386 x=B000-B0FF.

Or if you plan to use extended monochrome mode of 132 columns by 43
rows, the region would be:

device=EMM386 x=B000-B2C6

Sometimes though the monochrome card wont work at all unless you
exclude the whole region:

device=EMM386 x=B000-B800

Also, in the system.ini file you must add this line to the [386Enh] section:

EMMEXCLUDE=B000-B0FF

or in the case of the extended mode

EMMEXCLUDE=B000-B2C6

you will probably not need to add

DualDisplay=Yes

because that would exclude the whole region b000-b800.  That is usually
not necessary, but you may have to try it.


                      Enhancements since version 1
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Actually, the enhancements are everything, version 1 just copied the
clipboard to the second monitor.  Basically, it worked and was much
smaller.  What follows are a list of features of version 2.1:

1. SpyClipboard can accommodate the higher resolution 132 columns by 43
rows that is supplied with the boca dual graphics adapter card.  This
added an .ini file to the Windows directory.  Unfortunately, the boca
dual graphics adapter card has been discontinued.  If you find an extra
one, please let me know.

2. It no longer crashes when large amounts of data are transferred to
the clipboard.

3. This online help.

4. Memory leaks were plugged up.

5. Words are no longer split at the end of lines.

6. Functional buttons on the toolbar are spaced differently for video
drivers

7. Accelerator keys for single copies and erases, install and uninstall,
and paging

8. Paging up and down.

9. Single line scrolling up and down.

10.  Go to end of clipboard with last page

11.  Remembers last position and size of window in .ini file

12.  Menu option added to Mode Menu item that will minimize or not
minimize spyclipboard after single copy or erases.

13.  Check and unchecked menu choices for active modes

14.  Fixed tab alignment and added dialog box to change tab setting.

15.  Menu option adds to Mode Menu item for dialog box for tab expansion
changes.

16.  Line and Page and Column status is displayed in the document
window.  I mean I didnt know what else to do with the window.  After
all, I had made it an MDI application and felt bad enough.

17.  Exit has an accelerator key - Esc

18.  More Paging features, like scrolling the screen horizontally by
column, with arrows.

19.  Ability to turn word wrap on and off to allow left and right
shifts.

20.  Go to first and last column.
