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.
  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.
