The full 1.3 library sources should be on disk 5 of the upgrade kit, in the
file libsrc.a.Z (compressed archive).

I have not touched the source, but I may conceivably have recompiled it using
a newer version of the library.  I really don't remember.  But I am sure that
I have not used a new source for cpp, cem, opt, cg, or asld.
