Re. Clipboard from Cygwin?

[Barry Buchbinder <BBUCHBINDER at niaid dot nih dot gov>]

There are Windows command line utilities that can send a file or STD_IN to
the clipboard and read the clipboard to a file or STD_OUT.  Unfortunately, I
cannot find the one that I remember being best.  Here's what I found looking
around today.

Let me/us know if you find something better (especially if its free, in the
$$ sense).

Clipboard from Cygwin?

Dear All,

    I use NT4 (ServicePack 3) for texty, webby design stuff.

    I   got  Cygwin  B20  to  work  on  my  system,  primarily  to  help
intelligently batch-process all the html documents I've got to deal with
and amend.

    Now  that I've got Cygwin configured properly, I think Cygwin's Unix
user tools are absolutely fantastic.  Infinitely more useful than NT DOS
at any rate.

    The question I have is:

    If  I  have some text (this letter say) in the clipboard and want to
run a shellscript that takes input from the clipboard  (and  formats  it
left-right justified with nroff say), how is that done?

    Presumably  _one_  way  would be to have a Cygwin "clipboard" device
that you redirect from and to.  I guess  that  other  people  must  have
asked  this question before, but I can't find "clipboard" (or "clip") in
the FAQ:

With kind regards,

Sandy
