Thanks, Stephen.
Recollections are beginning to get hazy, but what I uploaded was based
on jpegshow 3.0, and may have been called jpegshow_cliplib.lzh, or
something along those lines.  I probably uploaded it to Delphi, and
maybe one of the other FTP sites that were around at the time, such as
lucy.ifi.unibas.ch.  I just don't remember.  I did come up with the
binary that has the clipboard functions, but I haven't found the source
yet.  I do have the source for Joel Hegberg's clipboard library though. 
As soon as I get it archived I'll put it on rtsi.com.  I don't know if
anybody ever downloaded the clipboard-enabled version of jpegshow or
not.  I did raise Kotanski by email.  He has his version 3.0 on a DVD of
MM/1 stuff, but apparently not my modified version.
