If you only want to cut-and-paste only within X11 (not transferring the
text
to windows) the you don't need xwinclip. If you want to transfer the text
to
windows but can't use xwinclip, you can start an xterm from cygwin and do
$ cat >/dev/clipboard
an then paste the text to the xterm. End it with Ctrl-D (^D) on a new line
the other way is
$ cat </dev/clipboard
and then select the text. Or you can write the text directly to
/dev/clipboard
Maybe you'll have to change the lineendings. Then use
$ recode ../CRLF >/dev/clipboard
or
$ recode /CRLF.. </dev/clipboard

Thanks for you answer Alex. Unfortunately I expect my users will want
something more like Exceed where they just use their mouse.
Does xwinclip work with xdm on your machine? If I do:
xwin -query host -fp host:7100 -from mypc &
xhost + (in the xdm window)
xwinclip&
It stops me being able to highlight text. Is there something wrong I'm doing
in the above?
