John, source code to grep and awk are available from a number of different
sources. Two that come to mind are (1) FSF (the makers of gnu); and (2)
I believe I've seen public domain versions on CompuServe.  

Regarding your C++ question, HP has not yet come out with one (I don't even
know if they've started writing a C++ compiler).  However, a company called
CCSC has both C and C++ compilers available for the XL systems. I'm familiar
with their C compiler from the classic HP3000. Very nice product.
