If you wish to copy a program's stdout to the X clipboard, try this: http://people.debian.org/~kims/xclip/ wget http://people.debian.org/~kims/xclip/xclip-0.08.tar.gz tar xzvf xclip-0.08.tar.gz cd xclip make echo "test123" | ./xclip # make install if you want to... Now open up an X program and middle click to paste test123 into it! There are probably other utilities to do this, but this is the first I've found that still works... -Mark _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
