On X11, we do XDND, which is now pretty much entrenched as the standard.
I've dragged and dropped between Qt and GTK, so its pretty safe to say
it works.  On Windows, drag and drop is between FOX applications only.

Not supported between FOX and non-FOX apps, but supported between FOX
apps, in a portable way.  It is impossible to implement it in a portable
way, due to the way COM is designed.  You *can* implement it in a non-
portable way, see COM_Example.zip.  [Note that this is C++ code].
