IcnClipBrd is a small module written by Thomas Leonard to allow the global clipboard to be used in writable icons on the desktop. It was originally supplied with the Clipboard utility, which allows the contents of the global clipboard to be saved to disc and the contents of files to be placed on the clipboard.
Thomas has released the module and utility into the public domain, and on this page you can find a 32-bit version converted by myself for use on all RISC OS systems including the Iyonix. These days, the two are supplied separately: IcnclipBrd comes in its own stand-alone distribution, and the Clipboard utility no longer contains the module. The two can be used together as a pair, or either one can be used on its own.
Any problems with the 32-bit version are likely to be my fault, and should be reported to myself in the first instance. My contact details can be found in the download archive.
IcnClipBrd
The IcnClipBrd module enables the use of the global clipboard in writable icons on the desktop using the conventional Ctrl-C, Ctrl-X and Ctrl-V keypresses along with Ctrl-Z to replace the icon contents with the text on the clipboard.
In addition, Ctrl-K deletes everything to the left of the caret (complementing the exiting Ctrl-End to delete to the right of the caret). Ctrl-E can be used to keep just a DOS file extension (eg. "NOTES/TXT" would become "/TXT"), while Ctrl-D de-DOSifies a filename (eg. "NOTES/TXT" would become "Notes").
The release of version 0.11 fixes a couple of previously un-noticed 32-bit issues, and tidies up some aspects of the data transfer protocol. It also makes it possible to turn off unwanted keypresses: this removes the need to have two separate versions, and makes it possible to disable unused features if they clash with applications (such as Ctrl-D and Ctrl-E for Prophet users).

Clipboard
The Clipboard utility allows the contents of the clipboard to be saved to disc, or replaced by a file.
Note that as of version 0.14, Clipboard no longer includes a copy of IcnClipBrd. Copies of the module can be downloaded from the link above and will work alongside Clipboard; the change should simplify future updates to both utilities.
