There is an area of DOS memory called the IAC (Intra-Application Communication area) that is reserved by the OS for letting programs communicate with eachother. Its at 0040:00F0 to 0040:00FF. If there was a way to reach this from Visual Basic we could avoid the clipboard all together. But I don't know of any way to get VB to communicate with a DOS process that is running. Seems you would have to figure out what task it was then have a DLL talk to it. Perhaps there is an API that can do that. Perhaps Mark will tell us the secret what that Muscle does its PEEK?
