Your thanks can best be expressed, in your future lack

This project?

That is odd.  Since you confirmed the app. was trusted,
I gave the classes in the archive (mentioned above) a 
quick run.

I could (on the aforementioned machine) paste pictures into
Paint Shop Pro 3.12 (an ancient version of a nice image editor)
and could D'n'D (or paste) pictures with Open Office 2 (Draw/Calc 
or Writer).

It got a little more interesting when I tried D'n'D to WordPad
and confirmed your result of 'blank image' arriving.  It got a 
little more interesting still when I discovered that I could 
see the images I had drag/dropped into OpenOffice, 
when copy/paste from OO into WordPad - as an 
actual image!

So in the same WordPad document, I had a blank image
D'n'D'd direct from DragPictureDemo2, beside a colored 
version that had come via OO.

A little bit of hunting led me here..
<http://www.rockhoppertech.com/java-drag-and-drop-faq.html#nativeimages>
Which leads me to think that whatever flavor these
images are being served up to (MS) Windows 
programs, it is not bitmap.  OO seems to handle 
whatever format the D'n'D offers - so does PSP.
