The following packages have been uploaded to the Cygwin distribution:

The '-u' or '-d' option of getclip does not seem to work properly under xterm.
How to reproduce:
1) Open an xterm
2) Select a simple piece of text (with no line ending)
3) getclip -u
4) Observe 'Segmentation fault(core dumped)'
Should not SEGV even if there is nothing to paste!
Those utilities do not have access to the X Window select buffer, only
the X window copy buffer is copied to the Windows clipboard
/dev/clipboard, so you may have to *COPY* the selected text to the
clipboard, however that is done from xterm, perhaps C-S-v or using
command xclip -sel c, before you can paste it.
