Assuming I understand your questions correctly (I don'tknow Dan
Brickin's Demo Program), but presume it is a rapid prototyping system,
well, there are lots of flavors for windows.

The best developed (whatever I mean by that) is Actor, which is very
smalltalk like, except that its' syntax is C-like (not an improvement
in my opinion). Actor produces windows executables.

There is also something called CASE:W, which is supposed to write
C-code, which can be compiled using the SDK.

Infoworld said this week that ParcPlace is putting their smalltalk
onto windows, so you should be able toget Smalltalk 80 for windows
pretty son.
