When I signed my contract with MIS: Press, I signed away all rights to
the code and the text.  So, if you want the code, you will have to talk
to them (phone 1-800-MANUALS in the USA).  I do know that the sources
ARE copyrighted and most likely MIS will NOT allow free redistribution 
(ask them, though).

As an aside, we did try to reuse as much code as possible, to limit
the amount of typing needed (but there is a lot of code).

As a reference, the book is:

_X Window Applications Programming_
by Eric F. Johnson and Kevin Reichard
MIS: Press, 1989
ISBN: 1-55828-016-2

Have fun,
