Correct me if I'm wrong, but from what I understand, "Dolphin Encrypt" does not use any well examined crypto system -- its something that you guys, without any cryptography credentials, cooked up. On that basis, why should we care about it? Most crypto systems that amateurs come up with are pathetic to say the least, and strong systems, like triple-DES and IDEA, are widely available. Perry meyer says:

My apologies for not thinking to state what platform Dolphin Encrypt currently runs on. It's vanilla MS-DOS. Other versions are planned.

The Dolphin Encryption Library (16 or so functions, containing the core encryption functions from DE) is also for MS-DOS (designed to work with the Microsoft and Borland development systems). This is all standard ANSI C code, so should port to other platforms without much problem. Currently there's a Clipper-oriented (that's the database language) version in preparation. Developers on other platforms (Unix, Amiga, etc.) who are interested in porting the library should send me email. I am most interested in contacting someone who can not only port the library but also market it.

Porting of the Dolphin Encrypt program is a Stage II task, and depends on successful porting of the library.
