Professor Spinnellis,
First, thank you for the nice little package of
utilities -- Outwit
(http://www.dmst.aueb.gr/dds/sw/outwit)
-- that allow for the integration of scripts with
Windows applications.
I'm not sure why this was copied to the cygwin list; it reads like a
personal email. However, many of the capabilities you list are already
available from standard cygwin packages. The 'cygutils' package
provides putclip/getclip, a stdio interface to the windows clipboard
(there's also /dev/clipboard, but that's another story). Upcoming
(current?) cygwin kernels provide direct access to the registry via
/proc/registry(?). Also, cygwin has LONG shipped with 'regtool' which
allows registry manipulation.
