Phoenix is a product that uses about $1000 worth of commercial 
components and has a big investment all around, and it's for sale, so 
there won't be any source code, and even if there was I don't have 
the right to release any of the commercial stuff, nor will any of it 
run on a system that hasn't been registered to develop using them.  Sorry.

Microsoft pushes Mono, a .NET copy-cat?
