In the Preface (page x in my copy of the second edition, first paragraph),
it says:

	"As before, all examples have been tested directly from the
	text, which is in machine-readable form."

From the Preface to the First Edition (page xi, third paragraph):

	"All examples have been tested directly from the text, which is
	in machine-readable form."

I have not been able to find anything about availability. I have always
assumed that the authors wanted to reduce the suspicions of
typographical errors in typeset code, which are all too common in some
books.
