but I need the source file, files.el - the files.elc won't do ?
My installation is the current Debian package for emacs21, which only
contains .elc, no .el files (that I can see).

Is there a handy site with an un-packed source tree on it that I can
browse to find this ?  Or an anon CVS repository (I'll need an exact
command line I can type - never used one yet) ?  Or do I need to fetch
and unpack an entire emacs source distribution to fish this one file
out of it ?
