Yet another font viewer

In the 1990's I got the basic idea for a font viewer from free code on a BBS. Well, I finally got around to making some improvements, but this time I'm putting up the source code for anybody to make their own versions. Visual Basic 5.0 or higher.

Clipboard buffer and viewer

This is another utility I wrote after seeing a fragment of code on a free BBS sometime in the mid-1990s. The fragment was simply about viewing the current content of the clipboard, but what I wanted was a way to hold several clipboard objects in view, whether text and graphics, for projects I was working on at the time. As I got it free, the source code is similarly offered free to anybody who wants it.
