Too many opportunities for that data to be corrupted by other actions of the user. So in other words, just don't do that; it isn't portable and it is prone to error. The proper use would be for a user to store content in /dev/clipboard that the user would then use immediately to paste elsewhere. It should never be used for programmatic operation where the operation is dependent on the result later; it wasn't designed for that. -- cyg Simple -- Problem reports: http://cygwin.com/problems.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/ Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple
