Smalltalk V/Windows was due out Jan 15.  Last I heard they were
shooting for Feb 1.  It's probably not productive to speculate what
the current target is.  I've heard that the big problem is writing all
the DLLs that'll let Smalltalk programs run on machines without the
Smalltalk environment.  The environment itself is a simple port of the
Presentation Manager version -- betas are already circulating.

The latest PC Techniques has several interesting articles on Windows
development tools, including a review of ST (based on the beta,
obviously).  

If you have another version of Smalltalk and aren't entitled to an
educational discount, you might want to call Digitalk and ask to buy
an "upgrade".  But given the number of high-level Windows tools that
are promised for the next couple of months, I wouldn't hold my breath
waiting for this puppy.
