Title: NetClip 0.1 released
Post by: xeron on September 21, 2003, 04:35:06 AM
The first version of NetClip has been released.

NetClip is a small utility that lets you share one global clipboard between your networked Amigas (or AmigaOS clones).

Data copied to the clipboard on one Amiga is immediately available to paste on other machines.

Features:

· Transparency. Cut and paste over the network as easily as between apps on the same computer.

· Serverless and stateless protocol. Once NetClip is set up on your LAN, you can turn off or on any of your Amigas without it causing NetClip a problem.

· Pastes ALL kinds of clipboard data. You can write a Personal Paint brush to the clipboard on one Amiga, and paste it into iconedit on another.

Download it from my website (http://www.petergordon.org.uk).

I use something like this at work, where I have three computers in my office.  It sounds like a trivial piece of code, but believe me it's one useful little program.

It has been tested with 3 machines (A1200, A4000, Peg), by a very kind guy on IRC for me ;-)

What I need is a version of this which also runs on Windoze, any chance on that happening? :-)

Not from me, I don't have any Windows boxes. If anyone feels like writing a Windows (or other OS) client, get in touch so we can cooperate. The protocol itself is very simple, although the other OS clients will have to translate everything to and from IFF data.

Looks like a really nice idea! :-)

Actually... I've not seen it myself, but I seem to remember someone mentioning WinUAE being able to share the "Amiga" clipboard with Windows. If you installed NetClip on UAE, with that feature enabled, it should in theory then work with both Windows and Amiga apps on that machine.
