Hi Giorgio

rereading your answer missing a thing.

I am not revitalizing Dolphin !

Dolphin was and is continuously maintained at https://github.com/dolphinsmalltalk/Dolphin - since its MIT release - I am attempting to get it up on my VM after a decade again.

Dolphin itself has evolved since its MIT release - no doubt - it may look still like it was a decade ago - but under its hood - it had been constantly improved - so Dolphin of its own is worth looking at -

It still would be nice to have a confirmation that it can be compiled as described and works out of the box.

My work here is to port it to my VM - with help of Blair- and when this works - do the next steps - planned is to have Dolphin working as a "Scripting" language for Godot Game engine 4.0.

DNG "failed" a decade before - also due to also technical reasons - to very different concepts of the underlying VM's and the fact that only a very limited man power was available.

- but as you can see on my twitter ( screenshot ) we got it working  in 2010  & it still works here on Win10.

So everyone who is interested - do me a favor & just try Dolphin from Github

thanks Giorgio, Frank

Hi, Frank

Dolphin was a very nice piece of software, still remember when the first version was announced! I think I was one of the first customers :)  . Having it revitalized will be really nice. 

Please keep us up top date

ciao

Hi Dave,

thanks, the ClassBrowserShell is up ( still empty no classes ) but most
of the Dolphin infrastructure is working - and is it a pleasure - to
work with the well designed Dolphin again.
