It's good to finally have access to c.l.s.d. from home, courtesy of
the technical gnomes at Cornell.  It's also good to have Dolphin 4
up and going.

A question:  What's Object-Arts recommendation on the best way to
migrate packages from Dolphin 3.x to 4?  Should I go back and
fileout everything, file it in to 4, and rebuild the packages?
What are your recommendations for stuff like PersonalMoney.pac,
SmallWorlds.pac, etc?

Should I trash all my old database, Web deployment, ADK,
DirectX stuff?  I assume maybe not on the latter, no?  Because
Dolphin 4 no longer supports the DirectX stuff?

Also, where are the settings that control the font for the
hierarchy browser, transcript window, and workspace?  I believe
they used to be in Dolphin Options, but I'm not sure?

Finally, now that Dolphin puts stuff in several directories, I'm
rethinking my habit of trying to keep all my Dolphin stuff under
a top-level directory "SmalltalkDolphin", right next to my
SmalltalkSqueak, and SmalltalkExpress directories.  I never
liked the "Great Package 4.0" convention, because the name
rapidly went out of sync when 4.1 was installed.  However, if
ObjectArts believes that things will work more smoothly if I
use this convention or put Dolphin 4 under "Program Files",
I'll do it.  I just want your thoughts and opinion.

Sorry for all the questions.  Thanks very much to Andy for all
his help getting my Dolphin 4 up.  I must say, however, that
activating Dolphin with all these keys seems a tad harder than
reaching the Throne of Glory as indicated by the Merkevah
tradition of Kabbalah....  (;-)}  Only kidding, of course:  I've
at least -- with Andy's help -- achieved the former.  I wonder,
'though, if there might not be some better way....

Is there a place on the Object-Arts site that, perhaps, discusses
all this?  Should there be?  How about on the Wiki?
