Source code is distributed
in whatever manner the software author desires. Frequently this is a
tarred and gzipped file, but it might be compressed with some other tool
or even uncompressed. The program source code, whatever form it comes in,
is called a ``distfile''. You can get the distfile from a CD-ROM or from
the Internet.
