Abstract
A user at computer A submits material from an application APPN A onto the clipboard at that machine. A routine CLIP SEND, part of conferencing software P2P-A at computer A obtains a list of available formats for the material on the clipboard, and transmits this list to a second machine, computer B. This list is received by conferencing software P2P-B at computer B, and a routine CLIP RECEIVE, part of P2P-B, submits the list to the clipboard at that machine. The user at machine B can then embed an object originally from APPN A by OLE pasting into an application at computer B, APPN B. in the normal manner.
