This update fixes two putclip issues reported by Takashi Yano: 1) Varying amounts of garbage after a putclip of non-ASCII chars, and 2) Occasional "Couldn't write CF_TEXT format to the clipboard" errors. The first was caused by unterminated input strings; the second by OpenClipboard() failing due to another process holding the clipboard. There is now a specific diagnostic for that situation. I'm aware of one more issue with putclip. Intermittently, using putclip to place non-ASCII characters on the clipboard instead places a number of "?" characters. If you de-select, re-select, and then repeat the putclip command, the non-ASCII chars are placed as they should be. This occurs whether your "paste" operation is from the application menu (e.g. Edit->Paste) or via the mouse. I've tried a couple remedies but have not yet found a solution.
