ZDNet Software Library gave SmallPea ClipEditor 4 stars (out of 5) on 6
October, 1999. They reviewed ClipEditor and said:

"ClipEditor is a free utility that can automatically save all text that you
copy through the Windows Clipboard. Each clip may be renamed and 
organized so that you can easily reuse it. Options let you keep the 
program on top, change all text to upper or lowercase, and choose the 
display font. Not only is ClipEditor easy to use, but it can be a real 
time-saver."
