Been doing that for a week.

All I can find are rpm files, no tar or source files hence the original
posting.

Is there a repository of old RH program source files that anyone knows of?
Maybe I could find it there as I know RH has the program in 7.3. Still have
the disk including source disks which I took a quick look at but did not find
it there either.
