Two computers A and B each have a clipboard function CLIPBOARD A and CLIPBOARD B respectively. In order to allow material from CLIPBOARD A to be copied to an application running on B, a routine CLIP SEND becomes a viewer to CLIPBOARD A, receiving information about updates to CLIPBOARD A. CLIP SEND then transmits to a routine CLIP RECEIVE at B a list of formats in which the information on CLIPBOARD...

In the process, carbon-bound refractory mouldings are produced by preparing a mixture of refractory materials, pitch or tar and a binder resin, shaping to give mouldings and curing, and also, if necessary heat treatment of the moulding. According to the invention, a starting mixture is used which, relative to the quantity by weight of pitch or tar added, contains 1 to 10 % by weight of hollow ...

A digital computer system includes at least one process, an input/output system and an input/output interface or input/output interface program/method. The process generates input/output requests and receives input/output responses. The input/output system performs input/output operations and generates completion notifications in response thereto.
