The Windows source for some components are available.  These include the
OSS components like nxssh, nxwin, nxcomp, and nxproxy.  The source for
the NX client is not available.

A simple command line client for Windows is available and is open
source.  I have not yet updated it to support 1.5.0.  If you are
interested you can check it out.
