%CLIPFORM
% Register a new clipboard format and return a value in the range
% 0xC000 and 0xFFFF, 1 for 'Text' and 13 for 'UnicodeText'.
%
% cf = CLIPFORM(formatstring)
%
% Clipboard formats are used by the new DDE library.
% Due to internal processing, DDEINIT must be called before CLIPFORM
%
% The 'XlTable' format is originated by Microsoft Excel
% and is capable to transfer two-dimensional double matrices up to
% 65535 in size for each dimension. Therefore, long vectors cannot
% be transferred.
%
% The 'MatTable' format is invented by author, is easier to handle
% and supports n-dimensional arrays up to 2G size for each dimension.
% Therefore, in Win32, the only limit is the address space of x86.
% Furthermore, zero- and one-dimensional arrays are supported,
% expecting a single scalar value as a zero-dimensional array.
% (Btw, Matlab crashes if one creates it using mxCreateNumericArray.)
% The 'MatTable' format currently supports double arrays only,
% but is extensible for other formats in the future.
%
% Although Windows DDE seems to make no assumptions about the
% value of the clipboard format identifier, 'UnicodeText' may
% only work on NT based Windows platforms. Within 9x platforms,
% that clipboard format is not yet defined.
%
% The value returned by CLIPFORM should be constant for a whole
% Windows session, but surely changes between sessions.
%
% All DDE transfers use only the real part of complex arrays.
