by Object Arts, targeted at the Microsoft Windows

Dolphin Smalltalk deviates from the convention of the Smalltalk MVC framework with a model-presenter-view framework.
The free community version may be one of the richest free programming environments for the Windows operating system because of the nature of the tutorials and sample applications and the rich class libraries. Other Smalltalk dialects for Windows include Smalltalk MT
and the Smalltalk dialects from Cincom
.
