Christopher and all

Yes,. It appears that these 2 programs are very similar except, of course, 
that the utility you use also includes a spellchecking facility for those 
who want or need it.

These utilities are the kind of thing that one can easily live without; 
but, once you begin using them, you can never imaginebeing without them.  
My biggest problem, as I add these kinds of things, is finding hotkeys 
that don't conflict with something else and then, of course, keeping all 
this straight in my head <grin>!!


Hope someone reading this finds one or both of these clipboard enhancers 
useful and will make their computing life a bit easier.

Once again, thanks for sharing and perhaps others reading this might 
mention some other utility that makes their pc life a bit easier.

Here is one that some of you may not be familiar with as it was released 
in the last couple of weeks.  Jamal Mazrui has put together, for 
Window-Eyes users, a script called Web Client which currently includes 
some 35 different functions.  One of the more valuable called Captcha 
interfaces with Solona and makes Captcha solving a breeze even for pc 
neophyte.
hit a hotkey and the screen is captured as, simultaneously, the scripts 
prompts you to log in to Solona.
Once logged in, the screen is automatically submitted, you redeive status 
checks, and are notified when the need code has been placed in your 
clipboard for pasting into the needed edit field.




that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
      in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord,
      to the glory of God the Father.
