I would like to know where those disasembelers could be obtained from?

thanks

Debugging 16-bit code (was: Anybody using this list?)

IMHO, debugging code that likely uses I/O ports direcly is better
not done under w95 (and surely not under nt).

Disassembling it (like Sourcer does, exe in and assembly out) has to be done on
the platform that the best disassembler you can found runs on. I don't think
that good disassemblers would have trouble with 16-bit code -- after all, it is
a much smaller set of instructions than 32-bit.

This is a choice of persoal taste, totally depends on what you are used to.
My personal choice would be AFD and/or SoftIce.
