Fine. Attached. It's "waved".
All it has is *.Rd files. Apparently the functions are collected in "functionINIT.R". But
"00Index" and "DESCRIPTION" are not helpful.
Are you joking or just pulling us?
All these files are interpreted by R and essential for the package. If
you do not know how R documentation files and R files work, read the
docs, but do not blame anybody for not providing sources. The sources
are there, you just cannot read them, obviously!

I wondered if there were standard practices in CRAN for delivery of R source
implementing functions in R packages. I has encountered a couple of packages
where the gzipped version of source contains very little, primarily the Help
files describing the functions in the package. In some cases I can find the
source as the value of the function name.
Given that these packages are released as GPL, oughtn't the unoptimized source
be freely available, hopefully with comments? Am I missing something? Is there
a central place other than mirrors where such source is retained? Sourceforge?
The 'package source' link on CRAN should point you to a tar.gz file
that contains the source code. For example, for splancs off the heanet
mirror it is:
http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/cran.r-project.org/src/contrib/splancs_2.01-27.tar.gz
.tar.gz files from those links should have full R, C and Fortran source code.
I think we need counter-examples...
