		ACUBO version 2.0 for Windows 95 and NT
        		Helgasoft  1994-1998

Acubo is a Clipboard Extender, it allows you to accumulate the text after each
Copy or Cut command, instead of overwriting it by the new entry. 
When you copy text to the Clipboard, Acubo saves it in a memory buffer. All your
entries will remain in the buffer until you send them to a file or back to the 
Clipboard.  Acubo can insert separators after each entry for readability.
Output files can be generated in Text or HTML format.  
You can merge text files into the buffer, just Drag & Drop them in Acubo's window.  

The system menu commands are:
   Help		  display a Help screen
   Clipb.Viewer	  activate the Windows Clipboard Viewer (if installed)
   Settings...		  change Acubo settings - output file, separators, etc.
   Clear Buffer	  delete buffer's content
   Buffer to File	  send buffer to output file (append or replace)
   Buffer to Clipboard	  send buffer to Windows Clipboard

FEATURES
--------

  * Activate the standard Clipboard Viewer:
	This file is named Clipbrd.exe and resides in your Windows (for 95) 
	or Winnt\system32 (for NT) directory.

  * HTML formatting:
	You can save collections of text entries in an output file.  The file can
	be in text (.txt) or HTML (.htm) format.  Use Settings from the system menu
	to select your preference.  The HTML formatting recognizes URLs starting
	with "http://" and email addresses like "x.y@comp.com" and converts them
	to links in the output HTML file.
	Note: Append write mode does not insert the HTML header tag ("<HTML><PRE>")
	in the output file.  Replace write mode does.
	
  * Merge Files:
	Text files can be merged into the buffer by Dragging and Dropping them
	into Acubo's window.  This window pops up when you click on the Acubo icon.
	Drag and drop files one by one, if you want to preserve their order in the
	buffer.  Text from dropped files is treated the same way selected text is
	copied.  HTML formatting is performed and/or separators are added, if these 
	options	have been selected.

  * Internet tips: 
	You can save URL addresses from you browser FASTER than with the 
	"Add to Favorites" button.  In Internet Explorer just right-click on the 
	address and select Copy.
