I could help with this, but I will let someone else work on it so I can do the
clipboard class (see below). It would be nice if we can get some of you new
people helping with all this. It is easier than it looks :-)

This is just my opinion, but I want to open this to discussion. I think we
should implement TRegistry in some better way than the Windows way, on Linux.
I personally think the Registry was one of the biggest blunders I have seen M$
do in quite a while. In the Windows implementation, it needs to work with the
real registry, but I don't think we should copy that same blunder in Linux. I
would suggest implementing it as Conf files or something like that. As long as
the Interace is the same, it doesn't necessarily have to work the same.

I have already committed to do this one. I will work on it today and tomorrow
before I leave to go camping for the weekend. I already know how to do it, so
it shouldn't be all that difficult for me to create the class.

Well, I'm not new, but I will get the clipboard working for ya.
