Ha! Looks like I found the right person :)

Appreciate this - hearing which tools are useful at this early stage is very helpful. I don't see IDA's ability to work on 16 bit DOS binaries with the free version...is there an older version somewhere floating aroudn that you know of that I can use without paying them thousands of dollars for a license?

 Bu> My goto tool is TD (Turbo Debugger) in dosbox.

Sweet. Ok. I'll track this down in that case. Any specific version? Is it easy to get installed and set up for doing this work?

 Bu> As my time permits, I'll see what I can come up with.

wOOt! Thanks :)
