I've always wondered about VMS sources: how they are actually
distributed today and how much space they take? Is a CD-ROM enough
for everything? And in which format are they? Just simple text files
in a bunch of directories or there is something fancier such as some
cross references and indexes?

They used to make source *listings* available on fiche; I have
several sets of those.   It's a stack of fiche maybe 3-4" thick.

How old are these "listings"?

  I haven't looked at them in years, but I think I have at least 5.1 and
5.2,
possibly 4.7.
