Also, the source files are stored in the .rpm format just as are the binaries.
Windows will not recognize this file format - who'da guessed? - I think MS is
unwilling to recognize anything Linux. To look at them, you will need to
extract the contents from the .rpm's.
Sorry I'm unable to be more help,
