NAME
dsdm - Drop Site Database Manager - Motif/OPENLOOK drag and
drop proxy agent
SYNOPSIS
dsdm
DESCRIPTION
The dsdm manages a database of all drop sites on the display.
When a drag operation is started, the dsdm is queried for a
list of the drop sites. The drop site information is used by
the dragging application to identify drop sites and provide
user feedback during the drag operation.
The dsdm provides a drag-and-drop gateway between Motif and
OPENLOOK applications. When an object is dropped on a drop
site, the dsdm gets a drop message from the drop sender
application. The dsdm then translates the drop message, and
sends the translated message to the drop receiver application.
Warnings
The dsdm must be running before applications are started for
the drag-and-drop gateway feature to work.
