   They are probably precompiled into some library. Not all TP7 versions come   
   with full source.   
      
   Note that it is better to rewrite it, studying the old sources for the   
   algoritms, it will probably be full of all kinds of 16-bitisms, dosisms,   
   direct hardware access and the like, so running the result on anything but a   
   16-bit compiler will fail anyway.
