Since everybody is talking so much about snipping and snapping.
I thought I would take the opportunity to wet your appetite.
This is part of the documentation for Snap, to be released soon.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Why use Snap instead?
a. Snap finds out the character coordinates automatically.
b. Snap uses the RastPort's current font, not just Topaz 8.
c. Snap was written by me.
d. Snap supports all fixed width fonts with width and height<16.
e. Snap supports accented characters (128-255).
f. Snap supports keymaps, thanks to Jim Mackraz.
g. Snap does both column and text oriented snapping.
h. Snap snaps graphics.
i. Snap uses the clipboard, making it compatible with TxED (and NotePad).
j. Snap understands inverted characters.
k. Snap understands bold characters.
l. Snap does word oriented snapping.
m. Snap has ants.
n. Snap has a key combination to do insert.
m. Snap supports Xerox style snapping with immediate insert.
----------------------------------------------------------------
Snap is out on final testing now.
The release will be sent to Fred Fish and comp.(sources|binaries).amiga.
Comments, anyone?
