Thanks for the help, I got there eventually.

Just in case anyone else want to do the same, here are my steps:

I followed the link and downloaded: calibre-0.8.34.tar.xz, then used Zip7 to extract this to: calibre-0.8.34.tar.xz, then extracted it again which gave a folder structure. I didn't know what to do with the "grep" command, but in this extracted folder structure I found:

C:\TEMP\calibre\src\calibre\customize\built-ins.py

which appears to contain all the source code for the built-in plugins, including TXT2TXTZ.
