Stef, Re Dolphin, class categories have long been of marginal use; I'll speak for myself on that but suspect others would agree. Packages are of course extremely useful. Method categories are also quite useful, and Dolphin allows multiple categories to be assigned to a given method. Dolphin mixes virtual categories (computed by rules) with static ones maintained by the user (and serialized as part of packages).
I can easily see where OB would get quite a speed boost out of it. Bill Wilhelm K.
