May I ask why you need another modelling tool if you don't even know it?
  

I found Alwyn Jones 's website, which has version 12 of the O software ,
but the win_ono.exe is a very small file.  I am wondering is it only less
than 3MB?  I opened the file, it was not a typical windows interface
software like win-coot. Am I missing something ? anyone used the windows
version?
You probably picked up the right file. The Linux version also only has 
2.5MB. You need a lot a data-files, too, if you want to enjoy the program. 
You get what you need from the same ftp-server.


But I suggest you find someone already familiar with O to start using it.

It just isn't needed. If there is a windows version of a program you  
get to download, install, run and then get on with your life.
