Hi, just a few comments, not sure how useful I am, but anyways ....

There is a VXD/TSR package (w/ srcs) for WinXP available online. Lemme find it ... ntold096b.zip.

I also have here an old (untested) DOSCLIP.ARJ (w/ srcs?) from Veit Kannegieser that lets the clipboard API work in pure DOS. (This may be hard to find as I don't think his site is online anymore. It may work well, which is why I kept it, but I dunno.) Okay, here it is: dosclip.arj

IIRC, GNU Emacs (DJGPP port) supported the clipboard, but it was limited to a portion of conventional memory due to design. So that may be the real limit.

Depends on external factors too. But that's probably a reasonable guess. ;-)

Again, that sounds reasonable, I've very rarely run into anything beyond those limits.
