Is getclip different from
  cat > /tmp/hosts
  <right-click to paste in the 1M lines>

at least 'cat > /tmp/hosts' that goes faster than I can read.  But
while that's running I can open notepad, paste the 1M lines in there,
save to \cygwin\tmp\doshosts, open another mintty window & dos2unix
/tmp/doshosts -- all that before the <right-click paste> finishes :(

Thanks,
Lee
