At one time there was a web page devoted to the topic from the point
of view of theory . It had downloads, several of which were for the
x86, but weren't very complete because the state of the art in this
area is far from complete.. If interested email me at
mailto:camille@bluegrass.net & I'll try to find it. You can also look
at www.decompiler.com but I don't think that is the page I'm referring
to...


Meanwhile the guys at this site are working in this general direction:


www.datarescue.com


They have a very good disassembler package primarily for the x86 but
also for other processors; and within the last few years have put in
support for complete identification of the run-time libraries for all
the popular C compilers for both DOS and WIN16/32. If your code was
originally written in C this could be handy for isolating areas you
don't need to rework.
