Actually, there's a very, very good disassembler for DOS, Windows, and
OS/2, which is called Sourcer. It is available from V Communications
(http://www.v-com.com/product/devsopr.html). It sounds pretty much
like "Easy Rider", except Sourcer can be run either interactively or
non-interactively. You can create a configuration file, plain ASCII
text file, and in that insert various commands, such as what type a
range of memory addresses is, names of labels and procedures, and so
on. Using Sourcer, and a bit of time, you can eventually create a
full, human-readable disassembly (which can be assembled to produce
the input) of whatever you fancy. I did it once with a device driver
I needed to patch up for special needs; in the end I had the full
source commented and everything as if I'd written it myself, and could
easily make the changes I needed to make.
