This almost certainly isn't game-related, but I hope it's OK to ask it here.
I followed Dominus's excellent Windows 3.1 installation guide to set up a Win 3.1 system running under DOSBox on a Windows host. Using various projects I developed in the past, I can print from Win 3.1 apps to the default Windows printer, and copy text from the host clipboard into Win 3.1 apps.
What I can't do is copy text from the Windows 3.1 clipboard to the host, and I wonder if anyone knows of a Windows 3.1 utility that copies the contents of the Win31 clipboard to a text file (not a .CLP file). Ideally, I'd like to be able to set it up so that a keyboard shortcut runs that program and copies the Win31 clipboard to a file so that I can read that file and copy the contents to the host clipboard.
Does anything like this exist for Win31? There are lots of utilities that do this under 32-bit Windows, but I can't find any for 16-bit Wndows. (Shameless plug: the Win32 utilities include one that I wrote myself: http://www.columbia.edu/~em36/clip2txt.html.)
EDIT: My guess is that this would be possible by writing a WinBatch script, but I can't find a copy of the 16-bit version to experiment with. But I'm still hoping for something that already exists.
