Do you ever need to save the output from one +command for reuse in several subsequent tasks? Do you ever find +yourself wanting some easy means of globally exporting data, e.g. +to a parent shell, to another xterm or application, or to another +machine or user? If you answer yes to any of these questions, then +xcb is for you. + +Xcb provides access to the cut buffers built into every X server. +It allows the buffers to be manipulated either via the command line, +or with the mouse in a point and click manner. The buffers can be +used as holding pens to store and retrieve arbitrary data fragments, +so any number of different pieces of data can be saved and recalled later. +The program is designed primarily for use with textual data. + + +What is so good about this release? +=================================== +Release 2.3 fixes a bug found in the XView code that prevented data +from being pasted from xcb to XView applications such as cmdtool. + +The release also adds a Motif GUI, selectable as a compile-time option. +Now you can choose between the Athena or the Motif look and feel. + +============================================= +Blame me. If you have any bug reports, porting problems, comments, +more comments, suggestions, patches, unwanted cash etc. please tell me. +I can be reached at the email address below. + +Better still, if you really like xcb, send me a postcard! +(to P.O. Box 213, Belgrave, Victoria, Australia. 3160). + +Enjoy. +Farrell McKay (Farrell.McKay@mpx.com.au) +Nov 1994 |
