Yes, as Tyrantmizar pointed out, I explained how to view the source code directly on your PC rather than using the CVS interface. But the source code on your PC is a snapshot in time of PasswordMaker. The CVS interface, however, shows the latest code minute-by-minute -- stuff that hasn't even been released yet. It also has the entire website in the /aso folder (aso stands for ASmallOrange, who is passwordmaker.org's current ISP).
files which can be opened with an unpacking utility like winrar (maybe winzip, too)
Yes, WinZip opens JARs, too.
I'm not sure how Firefox "compiles" them each time you run it, though.
It doesn't compile. Firefox uses the
SpiderMonkey JavaScript engine (written in C/C++) and, as far as I know, SpiderMonkey
interprets JS real-time (just like the JS engines in IE and other browsers).
