For Unix, the source has always been available, because of the nature of
Unix distribution. Which I ought to have said.

However, for Windows and Mac, NAI has only recently made source
available. This is a change since the last time I looked at PGP, so I
apologize for the error. However, their Mac and Windows source releases
lag after the binary releases.
