Short description

  Program 1: Clipstep   (Modified version of clipstep from Skrommel)
  Program 2: ClipSeek  (Based on Seek, Coder : Phi)

CLIPSTEP is a modified version of Skrommel's Clipstep, which is a clipboard extension app that uses only

[Control]+v and [Control]+c and [Control]+x  to allow clips to be stored as .CLIP files, and allows selection of stored clips for Re-Pasting.
It is now modified to run CLIPSEEK, a new program (modified form of Seek from Phi) which has two different modes of operation:

CLIPSEEK CLIP Mode:
- Displays large table of clipboard CLIPs and shows Clip content
- Predefine a Permanent directory for preconfigured applications to store clips
- Allows Selection criteria to preselect clips to be displayed, many modes offered
- Provides alternative Pasting options and other functions
- Can add comments to individual clips, mark clips to preserve/display at top of list
- Copy/Cut/Paste Selected block of clip-content from and to clip files

CLIPSEEK Directory Mode:
- Displays (Recursed) list of files (and directories), showing file
  contents/properties/icons for common file-types and common grahics.   (uses external program detailed in help file)
- Allows Selection criteria for filename AND/OR contents to preselect files
  to be displayed, many modes offered.
- Can preconfigure settings for Active programs/Apps/extensions, which are automatically
  selected by ClipSeek when run, or can be manually selected, once .ini is configured.
- Various display, selection and sort options
- Allows files to be run (if File association exists)/ or Directories to be selected.
- Allows listing of Apps (Link files etc) in StartMenu and StartMenuCommon, to search for
  and run required application.
- Can allow MS Word (2000) Document files to be listed with block of contents, on which
  Selective search can restrict list, to aid in file selection, and run MSWORD with selected file(s).
