What The Heck Is It?

Yet Another Clipboard Collector (YACC) is a Windows shareware utility that remembers the text that you copy or cut to the Windows Clipboard each time you copy or cut (up to 10000 characters).  YACC stores the text in a list box in the upper half of its window.  When you click on a selection in the list box, YACC displays the text in a more readable manner in the text box in the lower half of its window.  YACC must be running for it to remember your text copies and cuts.

Suggestions: Add YACC to your Startup group and check the Run Minimized box to start and minimize YACC each time you start Windows.  Please see Program Manager's Help for instructions on adding YACC to your Startup group.

When in other applications hit ALT + INSERT to quickly display YACC.

Why?

If you cut and copy text often you probably get tired of going back to copy something that you've already copied before.  This can be a real pain if it's a large selection that's located on the other side of a document, or even worse in a document that isn't open anymore.

If you've ever cut a selection of text that you realized you needed later, you'll like being able to retrieve that selection and pasting it back in.

Yet Another?

No, this isn't a brand new idea.  There are several other utilities that do the same thing, and even more, but I wanted a simple Clipboard history list without a lot of clutter.  I got the idea from my brother, who is working on his own version (Thanks, Dan).

Yet Another Clipboard Collector is a "shareware program" and is provided at no charge to the user for evaluation.  Feel free to share it with your friends, but please do not give it away altered or as part of another system.  The essence of "user-supported" software is to provide personal computer users with quality software without high prices, and yet to provide incentive for programmers to continue to develop new products.  If you find this program useful and find that you are using Yet Another Clipboard Collector and continue to use Yet Another Clipboard Collector after a reasonable trial period, you must make a registration payment of $5 to Ben Saladino.  The $5 registration fee will license one copy for use on any one computer at any one time.  You must treat this software just like a book.  An example is that this software may be used by any number of people and may be freely moved from one computer location to another, so long as there is no possibility of it being used at one location while it's being used at another. Just as a book cannot be read by two different persons at the same time.

You are encouraged to pass a copy of Yet Another Clipboard Collector along to your friends for evaluation.  Please encourage them to register their copy if they find that they can use it.  All registered users will receive a copy notification of the future versions of the Yet Another Clipboard Collector program.  The latest version as of July 1993 is 1.0.  This version is fully functional.

Shareware

Shareware distribution gives users a chance to try software before buying it. If you try a  Shareware program and continue using it, you are expected to register. Individual programs differ on details -- some request registration while others require it, some specify a maximum trial period. With registration, you get anything from the simple right to continue using the software to an updated program with printed manual.

Copyright laws apply to both Shareware and commercial software, and the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific exceptions as stated below. Shareware authors are accomplished programmers, just like commercial authors, and the programs are of comparable quality. (In both cases, there are good programs and bad ones!) The main difference is in the method of distribution. The author specifically grants the right to copy and distribute the software, either to all and sundry or to a specific group. For example, some authors require written permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their Shareware.

Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of software. You should find software that suits your needs and pocketbook, whether it's commercial or Shareware. The Shareware system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try before you buy, and because the overhead is low, prices are low also.  Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you don't use the product, you don't pay for it.
