I use getclip/putclip every day. They are the only way to reliably
move large (multi-megabyte) amounts of data from Windows programs in
and out of the clipboard. "cat /dev/clipboard" fails with "bad
address" over a certain size.

Please please keep these utilities unless there is a fully functional
replacement.
