I posted a new alpha version of the ntxlibw32.tar.gz adaptation of
ntxlib.zip on ftp.deninc.com.  In theory, you could ultimately use
Sergei's libX port minus libX11.a plus the emulated version below,
and you could compile working programs.  In practice, that may take
filling in a few blanks as the linker informs you of missing or empty
functions.  But, it should be easier to get things like tcl/tk programs
that call only XSync or whatever to run.

Unfortunately, ntxlib's libX11.a (the simulated version) compiles with few
problems, but the sample test program causes the following error message
from Windows 95:

TST caused an invalid page fault in
module <unknown> at 0000:8b26ddea.
