What documentation is provided with
ReStore?
The ReStore Developer's Manual is available on-line here.
Additionally, ReStore comes
with commented source code for a full example application - Entertainment
Shop, a
CD/DVD/Video ordering system, allowing for the creation and maintenance of stock
items and customers, and the placing of orders.
Entertainment Shop demonstrates all the core features of ReStore,
including querying, transactions and multi-user conflict resolution.

Is ReStore compatible with Dolphin's
MVP Framework?
Yes. ReStore is minimally intrusive to standard Dolphin code,
and the Entertainment Shop example application makes full use of the MVP
framework. Additionally, ReStore includes a powerful (and
compatible) new subclass of Dialog - TransactionalDialog - which provides full
Apply/Revert/OK/Cancel functionality using ReStore's transaction mechanism.
Additionally, all ReStore's MVP related classes
are held in a separate package. This allows for efficient packaging of non-GUI
applications.

How
large are deployed ReStore applications?
Like regular Dolphin applications, applications
developed with ReStore deploy to very compact executables. The
full Entertainment Shop application, packaged as a single Dolphin 'To Go'
executable, comes in at under 750k.

Which versions of Dolphin Smalltalk
are suitable for use with ReStore?
ReStore is designed to work with Dolphin Smalltalk
5 (XP).
Additionally, since ReStore uses the Database Connection features of
Dolphin, you will need the 'Standard Edition' or above.
If you are still using
Dolphin version 4, we can also supply a compatible version of ReStore.
Solutions Software is
committed to keeping ReStore compatible with the latest version of
Dolphin Smalltalk. We are also actively considering porting ReStore to
other Smalltalk dialects.
