The /src.related directories from the GRASS distribution tape are now
available for ftp on moon.cecer.army.mil in /unsupported/related/* for your
downloading pleasure. Formats available are compressed cpio and compressed
tar archives, which the server can dynamically uncompress for you if you like.
From the README file:

Programs in this directory are NOT GRASS commands, but are public domain
capabilities that may be useful to certain advanced GRASS sites. OGI regrets
that it cannot support these programs; perhaps the best source for help with
them is the GRASShopper mailing lists [for more information, mail
lists-owner@amber.cecer.army.mil .]
