I am not sure which writeup you are refering to. The X11R6.3 client libs in

     ftp://ftp.deninc.com/pub/ports/X11R6.3 or
     ftp://niteroi.gsfc.nasa.gov/pub/win32/X11R6.3 

include both libXaw and libXaw3d which work on both win95 and winNT (try the
bezier example in the examples/ directory). The only problem that I am aware
of is that Xaw does not work well with the MI/X server due to a bug in this X
server (you can verify that this is a bug in the X server by running xfig on a
Unix box and displaying the results on the PC). I contacted MicroImages and
their answer was:  "we don't support the Athena widgets".

I wish the MicroImages folks would agree with you.

PS: BTW, could you upload your ntxlib sources to ftp.deninc.com?
