Code-ClipLength is a tiny utility which watches the size of the clipboard. Perfect for whenever you have to write text of a specific length (such as this PAD file description). The program simply creates a tiny, mostly transparent box in the top-right corner of your desktop displaying a number which is the length of the current text block in the Windows clipboard. I wrote this tool for myself and am constantly amazed at how often I need to use it. I'm distributing it in the hope that others find it useful as well. Code-ClipLength does not install anything on your system. It's a tiny .NET application so you will need to have the .NET runtime installed.
