Yes. You get 100% of the source for everything when you download the package. The wonders of free software. > what are these directories and also i do see some C > code files in there as well. The lib directory is a directory of shared library components. The library is shared among fileutils, shellutils, textutils, and some others as well. The tests directory is a set of regression tests to verify that the code built correctly. That is useful when porting to a different environment. It is also useful when developing to make sure that you have not broken anything that you don't want to break when changes are made. The po directory is a directory of message catalogs. That is used for translating the messages of the program into other languages. This way you can get see the output in your native language even if you are not speaking the same language as the original author. Assuming that someone has made the translation already.
