It would be almost imposible you best bet would be
a disassembler assuming that you have at least a fair
knowledge on assembly the disassemble procces would
take you aproximetly 80% of the time to rewrite the
program.

You won't get .pas files back, but you could get an assembly
listing that someone *very, very* good with assembly language
could figure out before they died, provided they start young
enough.

The alternative is to just see what the program is supposed to
do, and write a new one which does the same thing (better if
possible). That would take only a tiny fraction of the time
it would take to 'figure out' the assembly listing.

You restore them from your back-ups!

You can rename it, changing the extension appropriately.

But that's probably not what you want...

The best way I have been able to do this is to convert the exe to Base64 ASCII. That can then be transfered via a text file. You can encode and decode an exe using VBScript. I found this out when working on some Teensy research. I have outlined how to do this on my blog: http://dabermania.blogspot.com/2011/03/converting-any-file-to-ascii-for.html
