I have an old exe from the mid 90s to reverse engineer. Does anyone know of a good Borland decompiler that's perhaps free?
Or if not free what is the best bang for the buck?

Try here: Dmitry Smaghin's site. Sources of compilers, assemblers, linkers (look into dccpack before the others)
Not listed is also DisC, the first entry in Google "borland c decompiler"
EDIT:
For best results, use more than one disassembler and compare the results of each so you can better reconstruct the code. Since reverse engineering is part art, part technology, some disassemblers will be more cryptic in certain sections of the code than others.
Also, real and protected mode assembly back in the 386 days was pretty easy on the eyes. It pays if you study 386 assembly.

And generally against the license agreement. If it's commercial software, I recommend making an official inquiry to obtain source code.Originally Posted by Mario F.
What can this strange device be?
When I touch it, it gives forth a sound
It's got wires that vibrate and give music
What can this thing be that I found?
