Xw is the name for what used to be called the HP widgets. Look under
contrib/widgets/Xhp in the X.V11R3 distribution for the X.V11R2 version
of Xw. (contrib software tends to be one rev behind) Look on
expo.lcs.mit.edu in contrib/Xhp.tar.Z for the X.V11R3 version.  (Also
available on uunet, osu-cis and other X archive sites)

Note that the X.V11R3 version is not supported by HP -- the fixes were
made by Martin Friedmann at UMichigan, and by John Carlson @ LLNL. (HP
sells the R2 version and a much enhanced version of these widgets
became part of Motif, I believe)

The R3 version will hopefully be on the R4 tape, but will hopefully
work with R4 Xt. (unlike the R2 version which does not work with R3 Xt)
