From this and other postings I've gathered how to do the int86 calls
with interrupt 0x2F and regs.x.ax set to 0x1700, 0x1701, etc. to
perform the different clipboard functions. I've been successful at
copying from a DOS C program to the Windows clipboard (open, set,
close), and pasting that data into Notepad. But I've never been able to
paste from the clipboard back into the same DOS program (open, get
size, get data, close), whether it was copied from Notepad or that same
DOS program. The size regs (dx:ax) always come back 0. Any idea why?
