- Mark & Transfer are something that we put into the DESQview Window Manager.
- They are not part of OSF/Motif or OpenLook. If we put these into the other
- window managers, we would no longer be providing the industry standard
- feature set that those names represent.
-
- Xclipboard is the "standard" X way of doing this. It works fine for all
- X programs. It can't deal with standard DOS apps though.
-
- This is one of the many reasons that I keep on using DWM....
