Just wondering about CLIPS: ...
« on: December 02, 2006, 10:14:19 AM »
 I was just wondering why the CLIPS: assign (which corresponds to the ram:clipboards directory) exists. The clipboard system of the AmigaOS doesn't seem to make use of it and, from what i know, no apps does.

 Oh, so the OS does make use of it. I thought that it didn't because the CLIPS: is always empty, even if i have copy some data in the clipboard. Thanks.

It isn't always empty, the unit file is there when the particular clipboard unit has data.

console (shell) copy/paste might not qualify btw, it has internal clip handling (at least in some cases).
