Peter Langston never (well pretty much never) distributes sources.
His code is distributed as described, binaries and enough interface
source as required.  He has however, always been helpful in getting
the sources up on a new machine.  In defense of Peter, I must say that
this keeps Empire, wander, and his other games from getting as disgustingly
varied as Rogue, search, and other games that the sources have been more
widely available for.

Peter is no longer at Lucusfilm, he works for Bell Communications research
now.  I don't know what machine to find him on, but he usually uses "psl"
as his login name.
