DOS ain't dead

ClipDRV and LBForth (Announce)

A few of suggestions for ClipDrv:

* Allow use of EMS and regular memory instead of just XMS (this would allow use on an 8088 CPU, though might require decreasing the max clipboard size)
* Provide way(s) to mark just part of the screen for copying to the clipboard (w/ keyboard and/or mouse)
* Allow new contents to be appended to the end of the clipboard instead of just overwriting the existing contents
* Provide a way for contents of clipboard to be "typed" as output instead of just outputting to STDIN from the command-line (with mouse and/or keyboard)

I would actually like to see ClipDrv just be the clipboard itself using the WinOldAp API (with the added ability to append contents to the end of the clipboard) and see the PrintScreen capability as a separate program, or at least with the ability to disable the PrintScreen feature. That would allow for better interaction with other programs that might use the Clipboard and/or PrintScreen key.
