Could you build this?
No Byte-matching decompilation of a 1990s 16-bit DOS executable requires painstaking reverse engineering of x86 assembly, disassembler tooling, and exact compiler artifact matching that cannot be vibe-coded.
What it would actually take: Requires Ghidra/IDA Pro reverse engineering of 16-bit real mode / protected mode DOS binaries (DOS/4GW), x86 assembly disassembly, and deep expertise with historical compiler idiosyncrasies (Borland Turbo C++ 1.01 code generation, calling conventions, register allocation, memory models). Success requires line-by-line assembly comparison until the compiled binary matches the original hash byte-for-byte.
