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  infor-
     mation  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	 applica-
     tion.

WARNINGS
     The dsdm must be running before applications are started for
     the drag-and-drop gateway feature to work.
