Drop Site Database Manager - Motif/OPENLOOK drag and drop proxy agent

    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. This 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.
