using the clipboard for communicatign between programs
#8
Didn't there used to be a little spot in DOS memory called inter-program communication memory? It wasn't huge but it was likely not tampered with unless purposefully written into. Not a big deal in the before times. After windows however and there's all these different programs poking about.

As for discouraging the clipboard being used in this matter it makes sense as any running program can copy into it and and destroy "vital" inter-program communication. But... haven't we all used a host of programs copying and pasting as part of the normal workflow and never had a big issue with info getting overwritten?
