SYMPTOMS
========

When you save a .clp file in Clipboard Viewer, some data formats may be lost.

CAUSE

Some programs, and OLE on behalf of programs, put items on the clipboard in
formats for which they supply no actual data. These formats cannot be saved to a
file.

You should use caution when using .clp files to save data.
