canvassing

Some years, IIRC ca 1999 ago OA released a version of Dolphin ST (2.1)
which I think would be the equivalent to the present DVE version in the
PCPlus Magazine cover CD.

Is there plans to re-issue that with a newer (preferable the present :-)
version?

Its possible that we might do that when D6 is released, however our
experience has been that this is only worth doing where there is a related
article in the magazine.

If anyone is interested in writing articles that you'd like to accompany
with a copy of Dolphin, then write to us and we'll see what we can do.

I don't know how relevant this is, but I first heard of Dolphin by finding
it on the cover disk of PCW in 1998 - I'm pretty certain there was no
accompanying article. I loaded it and played with it occasionally over the
years, and when I wanted to do some serious Smalltalk earlier this year I
used the saved files to track down OA and see what had happened to Dolphin
over the years. I have now upgraded to Dolphin Pro. I realise a sample of
one is no evidence, but it is worth noting that payoff can be quite long
term.

I discovered Dolphin (and Smalltalk) through just that cover-disk too (though I
seem to have been a little quicker off the mark than you ;-).  I think that
particular "release" did have a 1.5 page article with it written by a staffer
(basically positive but slagging the absence of documentation).

Since then there has been another cover disk in the UK with a later version of
Dolphin on it but no accompanying text, and a version of VW too, but I didn't
see any evidence that anyone had really noticed them.  Perhaps that's what
Andy's referring to.
