It would, of course, be possible to write a clipboard viewer program for whichever platform - say, OS/2 - and have it connect via a TCP/IP socket to a program on another system - say, a Linux box - that has a little hidden window and puts stuff onto the clipboard. I will neither confirm nor deny having actually done this... *twiddles thumbs* ChrisA
