I picked up a copy of "ASMGEN.COM" from a local RBBS, which seems to do
what you want.  It disassembles to a file any .com or .exe file.  You then
can assign symbolic names and the type of data to various addresses in
a "sequence" file.  You re-run asmgen, and the output becomes more
symbolic.  By iterating this procedure, you can disassemble and analyze
the functions of any unknown piece of software, and end up with a
reasonably symbolic file which you can easily modify.  It is actually
fun to use this program to discover the inner workings of small programs.
