SYMPTOMS
========

When you try to use Clipboard Viewer to save the contents of the Clipboard, you
may be unable to do so.

CAUSE
=====

This behavior can occur for either of the following reasons:

- You try to save the contents of the Clipboard using a long file name.

- You try to save the contents of the Clipboard to a folder that has a long
  file name.

Because Clipboard Viewer is a 16-bit program, it is unable to correctly interpret
long file names.

RESOLUTION
==========

To work around this issue, do not save the contents of the Clipboard using a
long file name, or to a folder that has a long file name.
