If you mean "Are they accessible to other 95LX programs and programmers?" the
answer is yes.  They are accessed via a software interrupt (with parameters
in CPU registers).  These are documented and available to ISV's currently,
and will probably be made available via a Corvallis "95LX bbs" at some point
in the not too distant future (this is supposition on my part, so you can't
hold HP to it :-).

If, on the other hand, you mean "Can we get the source or object code files?",
the answer is no.
