Hi Stas,

I received this message from sourceforge which I don't understand. The 
whole message is reproduced bellow (if someone may explain why it was 
closed, as I did not receive the question...), but the interesting part 
is this

When I use a DOS-BOX in Win98, some programs like NDN and SETEDIT (which 
I use a lot) can put/get text to/from the Windows clipboard.

When I run these programs in DOSEMU, they programs have this option 
"grayed out" as if the Windows clipboard interface does not exist.

It could be implemented using the standard Linux Clipboard.

BTW, it does not work with the mouse: 1) in these (and many others) I 
cannot use the mouse to select text because it is used by the dos 
program. 2) even in pure command line mode, I can select text but the 
middle mouse button copies the text into the dosemu keyboard buffer, not 
the Linux clipboard.

I tested with 1.3.3

Thanks,
Alain
