Is Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) for Windows just some sort of transfer 
protocol.  Can it be implemented over TCP/IP, or other transports?  Has
it?  If someone could e-mail me the DDE spec, I would greatly appreciate
it.  What I want to do it write an application in Unix that will 
talk to windows programs, and want it to update spreadsheet programs
as information is availible on the network.  Is this protocol standard?
Can the Mac use it?  Please post, e-mail, snail-mail, ANYTHING!!!
Any help would greatly be appreciated.
