OLE would of course be OS dependent but as I understand it (in my fledgling
state) the windows toolkit is an abstract class which has implementations for
each specific OS. Would it therefore not be possible (indeed ideal) to
implement a generic drag and drop class whoich would use OLE (or other such as
DDE) on Microsoft platforms, Tooltalk on Unix platforms (esp. those with CDE)
and whatever is relevent for MAC and any others.
This would enable all implementors to cope with the applets using D&D or other
OLE features and implent in a manner suitable to their platform. To my mind
this would be much more in keeping with Java principles and would remove any
payments that good old Bill might wish to tap us up for at a later date!
