The first version of NetClip has been released.

NetClip is a small utility that lets you share one global clipboard between your networked Amigas (or AmigaOS clones).

Data copied to the clipboard on one Amiga is immediately available to paste on other machines. Features:

· Transparency. Cut and paste over the network as easily as between apps on the same computer.

· Serverless and stateless protocol. Once NetClip is set up on your LAN, you can turn off or on any of your Amigas without it causing NetClip a problem.

· Pastes ALL kinds of clipboard data. You can write a Personal Paint brush to the clipboard on one Amiga, and paste it into iconedit on another.

NetClip 0.1 : Comment 2 of 9ANN.lu

In reply to Comment 1 (Nomad of Norad):
> Is there a way to turn it off and on at your whim?

At the moment, you have to quit it with a CTRL-C, ad re-run it when you want to share again. The next version will be a commodity so you can disable it.


> And, is there going to be a way to share clipboards between LANned Amigas [everyone else]

I won't be writing clients for other platforms (I have AmigaOS and LinuxPPC here, and the minute I get OS4, well, byebye LinuxPPC). However, the protcol is VERY simple, so if someone wants to cooperate on a Linux/Windows/Whatever client, get in touch.


> A way for one or more machines to opt-out (and then back into) the sharing of clipboards, at the user's whim, while still allowing the other machines to share theirs?

From 0.2, it'll be a commodity that you can disable on a per-machine basis.


> Perhaps also integrate into it one of those multi-clipboard functions, too. You know, where it keeps up to, say, the last 10 items that were pasted to the clipboard and lets you select from that list before pasting back out.

It is certainly possible to integrate some sort of "Clipboard manager". Thats something for the distant future, I feel ;-)
