Is there an easy way to copy the entire contents of a file to the windows clipboard? I'm using Korn
I'm using Unix @ work, so I can't install any extra tools.
 
How are you connecting to Unix? An emulator from windows, perhaps?

Most of the modern terminal emulators provide the capability of accessing the Window's clipboard. I use CRT from Van Dyke software, but there's probably dozens of them out there.

I think Putty has this capability and it's free:
 
The version I'm using is 9.0 and I just left-click the left corner of the logo/icon and select edit then copy all 'to clipboard'.
 
yeah, that doesn't work for some reason on mine...oh well
