PrintClip.exe prints any text or filenames on the clipboard to a StdOutn. Most programs cannot print filenames on the clipboard.

This uses the inbuilt compilers in Windows 10 - there are three VB.NET compilers and three C# compilers - just copy each text file into the same folder and double click the batch file to make the program.
