Exactly. Get a copy of Dr.Dobb's. Somewhere in there are quite a few adds of executable debuggers that can reverse engineer any Intel code back to C. The output doesn't make much sense, but it can be used. I'm quite sure others exist for other CPU architetures. There used to be quite a few for VMS.
