TextBuf is a program which augments the other software you use. It allows you
to:
-> select text from your screen and save it in memory;
-> edit that text, if you wish; and later
-> paste that text directly into another program.
The idea is akin to the "cut-and-paste" operation which is part of most
wordprocessing programs. With TextBuf, however, it's really "copy-and-paste",
since no text is actually "cut" (i.e. deleted).
For example, a column of numbers from a spreadsheet can easily be transfered
into a word processing document. Or you can store text which you see on your
screen during a communications session; later you can insert that information
into a database or a wordprocessing document.
You can also use all of TextBuf's features within a single program (e.g., to
retain text which you want to use later).
Unlike some programs which offer primitive "copy-and-paste" facilities, TextBuf
provides you with an assortment of features for setting the copying and pasting
options to your own preferences. TextBuf allows you to:
-> select columns of text (important for spreadsheet applications)
-> select non-adjacent sections of text from your screen
-> paste text all at once or a "line at a time"
-> save in succession a number of text selections from the screen
-> edit text that you have saved
-> print the saved text
-> use the "text buffer" as a simple word processor for short documents.
