From the sounds of things it assumes that the code was written in C in
the first place.  Most TSRs were written in pure assembly and may not
have an equivilent representation in C that they can be decompile into.
The System 370 emulator you're using may also have been written in
assembly.  For example, the PC/370 emulator was written in assembly.
