They've replaced it with something called Spartan. It has all the functional features mentioned above for M8 but a much nicer interface. My problem with the others is that once you have more than a half dozen or so clips, it becomes a problem to find the one you want. Spartan shows 150 clips at once and the preview window works automatically as the mouse moves over them - you dont need to click on each to see whats in it. I went to try the M8 program.

I wasn't alone, I found people offering advice on updating some of it's DLLs that had security vulnerabilities. I use FilZip now. I'm a software junkie, and I try out a lot of stuff (I love BetaNews.com) so I think I'll start writing more reviews like this. Judging from the hits I've gotten in the past couple days, people liked it. I know what you mean, I was stuck on PowerArchiver’s last freeware version for a long time after it went comercial.

I'll definitely checkout the open source Ditto since that is a nice direction. One reason I still use Clipmate is that is is version 7 and I started using it when it was version 3 I think. It is hard to move away from a tool that does what you want (plus a lot more) and has a great developmental track record. -- Steve Thanks for the reference to my suggestion and for the great compilation.
