Looks like a very useful addition to the windows toolbox - contains
programs to manipulate the clipboard, registry, ODBC layer and a few
other windowsy things using the unix ‘take input from other programs,
format output so it can be piped to other programs’ philosophy.

From the examples:
winclip -p | perl -pe “tr/[A-Z]/[a-z]/” | winclip -c
Converts the contents of the Windows clipboard to lowercase.

Good Idea !

The win32-clipboard module of win32utils may make writing such utility a
breeze.
If you care to volunteer, please join us at:

We are making every attempt to make it feature full and complete.
