xclip is a command line interface to the X11
clipboard. It can also be used for copying files,
as an alternative to sftp/scp, thus avoiding
password prompts when X11 forwarding has already
been setup.

This is the first release after moving to
Sourceforge. The performance has been greatly
enhanced, especially over slow networks. Two
helper scripts, xclip-copyfile and
xclip-pastefile, have been added. Taken together,
xclip can now be used as an alternative to
sftp/scp, thus avoiding password prompt when X11
forwarding has already been setup. Autoconf is now
used instead of Imake. The maintainer and Web site
address have been updated. All Debian patches have
been applied.
Support for the INCR mechanism (-o should be able to print out selections that were previously too big and would have resulted in a message "Error: Support for format not yet implemented."). In in mode, using the INCR mechanism means that you can use xclip on really big data. It used to work OK on big data, but it is better behaved about it.
