I remember a while ago there was some talk about a program to do X windows
style C & P between applications on the amiga.
Does such a beast exist, and if so, what is it's status - PD, commercial,
PDBFOAB ( PD But Full Of Annoying Bugs ).....
Thanks for any help...

It's called PowerSnap, and is available by ftp from ab20.larc.nasa.gov. I don't recall the directory it's in, but a quick grep thru FILES.Z should help you. It is as recent as 1991, so that cuts out most of the file for your searching. Wayne

However, it can only clip text. If you want to clip text and graphics (and perhaps save the graphics as an IFF brush), look around for Mikael Karlsson's Snap v1.4 or later. Really nice for picking off things like icons and gadgets off the screen. -Mark Gardner accangel@undrground.uucp "...he's gonna drive that cadillac down there and get it dusty and dirty for God?...hum?!" - wilde silas tomkyn ---------- Mark Gardner UUCP: uunet!cbmvax!amix!undrground!accangel Internet: undrground!accangel@amix.commodore.com

Really >nice for picking off things like icons and gadgets off the screen. > I USED to use Snap v1.4 until I found a program called oSnap on the Deepthought mail-server. I handles multiple clips ( You can snap 5 texts on one screen, go to another and paste them back!! ) It uses a configuration file and a config- menu. AND it does graphic-snapping. NEAT!! For those of you who don't know how to use the deepthought mailserver, I include a message that was posted to net a while ago.

We have been trying to upgrade the disk capacity. I bought a pair of 80 meg drives, and spent about two weeks trying to get them to work. I finally gave up, brought the system back up and got two SCSII 80 meg drives, with the A3000 running as a server for them. We're now up and running, and will be until July 1 at which time we may be losing our UUCP connection. If that occurs we will no longer be on the internet, however the connection through wolves will still probably work. Please give the system a call sometime, in addition to the file request mailer, we also have a BBS at the number. I think you'll be plesently surprised. Here are the instructions on using the file request mailer: ------------------------------------------------------------------ Welcome to DeepPost the file request mail daemon at Deep Thought. We only support a few commands at this point: Send a message to FileRequest@deepthot.cary.nc.us. or mcnc!deepthot!filerequest or wolves!deepthot!filerequest If the body of your message contains any of the following keywords, mail will be sent back to you. HELP - Returns this message LIST - Lists the files available FILE: filename - requests a file. NOTE: filename only, do not include the directory. Each file requires its own line in the message. If you have any problems, please feel free to contact me. P.S. Try the internet address first, that should be the most direct connection. ------------------------------------------------------------------ |_o_o|\\ |. o.| || The Jay Denebeim | . | || Software | o | || Distillery | |// Address: UUCP: mcnc.org!deepthot.uucp!jay ====== Internet: jay@deepthot.cary.nc.us BBS:(919)-460-7430 VOICE:(919)-460-6934 -- Please see monthly postings for the disclaimer, the introduction, the charter, and submission instructions.
