RE: new to-do item

I'd just like to point out that this isn't entirely true.  In fact, drag
and drop of files (although not of any other type of object) can be
achieved using the DragAcceptFiles() API and the WM_DROPFILES messages.
Also, the clipboard can be accessed using EnumClipboardFormats() and
GetClipboardData().  You can't however do OLE without COM, but DDE is
certainly possible (DDE predates the introduction of COM along with OLE
in Windows 3.1).
