Usage help

The zip file contains two files 'clipcopy.exe' and 'clippaste'.
Use clipcopy.exe to copy files from command-line into the Windows clipboard.
Use clippaste.exe to paste files which have been copied into the Windows clipboard using any programs such as Windows Explorer or clipcopy.

Using Clippaste.exe
Syntax: clippaste {-overwrite:yes|no} {destination folder}
{destination folder} is optional. If no folder is specified, contents will be copied to the current directory.
{-overwrite} option allows you to specify if you are asked about over-writing existing files. It can have two values, 'yes' and 'no'. If 'yes' is specified, existing destination files are overwritten without notice. If 'no' is specified, any exisitng files in the destination folder is skipped from being overwritten.

To copy files into the current directory and skipping any existing files:
clippaste -overwrite:no
