SYMPTOMS
========

If you save text to the Clipboard using Clip.exe, and then attempt to paste the
text into Notepad, the text will not appear.

paste text into Notepad. This is noted in the Rktools.hlp file that was released
with the Microsoft Windows NT Server 4.0 Resource Kit, Supplement Two.

This error is not known to occur in any other simple text editors. If you
experience this error with another text editor, please send e-mail to
