One of the programs available sometime in the late 1980's was a program called
Sourcer that included a program called BIOS Pre-procesor for the PC, a ROM BIOS
Listing generator (V Communications.) Neat program and while I am not a
programmer, it was fun to disassemble the ROM BIOS routines and take a look. The
BIOS listing had enough comments to make it useful.

Has anyone considered decompilation (producing sources from binaries)
as a way of archiving system or application software that is defunct?
I know lots of people have disassembled ROM listings and created
commented ASM listings from the ROM, but what about larger systems
where hand-disassembly is impractical?
