Introductory
------------
Say you're surfing the Internet. You see information here and
there which you'd want to save to file. Or you want to save some
site addresses.

It can be a hassle selecting the text in your browser, then
copying it to the Windows clipboard, then clicking your text
editor, then pasting to it, then moving the caret to prepare for
the next paste, then clicking to return to the browser window...

Try PasteBoard. When run, it sits in your taskbar's system tray.
Copy some text, and it immediately pastes this text to its
window. PasteBoard tells you "Text pasted!", empties the
clipboard, and then waits for your next copy. New copied text is
always appended, regardless of where the caret is. You never need
to leave your browser at all during a surf.

To view the collected text, just click the PasteBoard icon in the
tray (or right-click it for a popup menu and select Maximize).
The text can be saved to file (registered version only) at the
end of your surfing session. PasteBoard can handle very large
files. You can also load a file first, and all freshly copied
text will be added to it.

PasteBoard can work in the background, or as a regular window.
Its action can be toggled on and off (note the different icons
for ON and OFF) at any time.

PasteBoard's an auto-pasting utility, and intended as a pocket
utility, so there aren't any editing functions. You use your
regular text editor to edit the saved files.

No install?
-----------
Not necessary. The archive contains:

          pboard.exe        -     the executable
          readme.txt        -     this file

Just create a folder/directory and unZip the files to it. 

To run, click on pboard.exe in Explorer. Only one file is
generated, to save your preferences:

          pboard.cfg        -     saved config

This file also saves last window position and size; last folder;
font size and color, and sound toggle. (PasteBoard is
non-intrusive software and doesn't muck up your Registry or other
system areas.)

To remove completely, just delete this folder with all the files.

Sound
-----
If you have a soundcard, PasteBoard speaks to you. It tells you
"Auto pasting switched on", or "Text pasted!". If you haven't a
soundcard installed, or if the speech irritates you, just click
on Options and toggle Sound off.

Trial/Registered Versions
-------------------------
The Trial version of PasteBoard has no facility to save to file.
If you find that the program can be useful to you, please
consider getting a Registered copy with file save. The
registration license is on a per-user per-machine (non-networked)
basis. Just send US$10 or S$20 or equivalent to:

  Chua Jan Fui

Pick a payment method most convenient for you. Send:

  (a) draft/check/money order in Singapore funds; or
  (b) check in non-Singapore funds, but please add US$10 to cover
      bank charges; or
  (c) cash in any currency, but maybe some risk of loss in the
      post :-).

No complicated order forms. Just remember to include your name
and email address (on the back of the check, or paper). You may
also want to email me to say payment's on the way. On receipt, a
Registered version of PasteBoard with a unique serial number will
be promptly emailed to you.
