Yes, this was Jørn's idea when he wrote this code, and he mentioned in his
mail that fixing this was on his list. The (small) problem that makes it a bit
tricky, is that some of the functions utilised for making the output, takes a
file pointer as an argument. I see two solutions to this:

Rewrite all the functions that takes a file pointer as an argument and use a
string pointer instead.

-or-

Write a wrapper functions that first makes the file (as it does now), then
reopens the file and the clipboard, and copies the file content into the
clipboard. Then closes and deletes the file.
