Not for any of the commercial software, but there are a bunch of example/demo
applications (mainly to show how to program for the Doré graphics environment)
that come with source. The MATLAB extension to use Doré graphics consists of a
bit that's built into MATLAB and a separate display server that MATLAB connects
to when you use the render function. The source for the display server is
provided so you can customize it. There's also a fair bit of user-written code
in the user directories on one the backup tapes, but I am seeking permission
from the institute the machine came from first before I start looking for
interesting bits of code in there.
The OS came with a C compiler, and a vectorizing FORTRAN compiler - bought from
Convex - was available as a separate (and expensive) option. Fortunately, my
system came with the vectorizing FORTRAN compiler.
