NoCR v0.2.5 This is a Windows program that will delete the final CR (carriage return) and LF (line feed) from the clipboard. This is intended to address a limitation of the DOS shell that you can run from 386 Enhanced mode, notably that when you copy text from a DOS shell, it always appends an extra CR and LF to the buffer. This program removes it for you. This program has two modes. The default mode is a passive one in which the extra CR and LF are only removed if you request the program to do so. You do this by selecting "Remove CR" from the system menu or by simply double clicking on the icon (or by clicking with the right button). Alternatively, you can run NoCR in "Automatic" mode in which the program will automatically remove any extra CR and LF's added to the end of a buffer. The advantage of this automatic mode is that it requires no user intervention to remove the extra CR and LF. The disadvantage is that you may not wish to have those final CR and LF removed if you are using a different application. While I have not been able to reproduce any negative side effects while using other applications, you may experience the loss of a final CR and LF where it is not desirable. As mentioned above, if you are using "Automatic" mode, this program may or may not remove the final CRLF from the clipboard when used with some other Windows programs. The NoC simply checks to see if there is text in the clipboard and if so, removes the final CRLF. Fortunately, most windows programs, like Notepad, use a slightly different clipboard format for text (CF_TEXT) than the DOS-shell does (CF_OEMTEXT), and NoCR only removes the final CRLF from the latter. It is possible that other applications may use the CF_OEMTEXT format as well, though, so you may experience the removal of the final CRLF from these applications as well. Anyway, feel free to try this program out. It is Freeware, meaning that it may be copied for personal use without fee. NoCR is copyright 1992 by Robert M.

If it is not text (i.e. the format used by a DOS window), do nothing. Previously this would cause programs using other formats, such as Excel, to crash with a UAE. This is fixed. Also, added hide icon feature.
