dsdm(1X) UNIX System V (16 Feb 1994) dsdm(1X)
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.
