Some method similar to this:

narcissus:{/home/ben}% less /usr/src/usr.sbin/named/Version.c 
/*
 *      @(#)Version.c   4.9 (Berkeley) 7/21/90
 *      $Id: Version.c,v 1.1.1.1 1994/09/22 19:46:13 pst Exp $
 */

I found the src directory using locate, FYI.  It's a good method for stuff
like this, or for tracking down the author of something to ask a question.
