     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.
