Nope. I want to look at metafiles (disk file or the clipboard - it is the same format)
as *text* (e.g. GPILINE p1, p2; GPIMOVE p3; etc).

I have a quite complex program that draws a picture and there are some errors in it and
I want to see what output it produces.

When I look at my picture in the picture viewer it looks ok, but in the clipboard viewer
it's not quite that good.
