Yes, DOS and Applesoft were both "reverse engineered" into unofficial
(and unlicensed) source more than once.  Perhaps someone has done
the same with Integer BASIC.  I'd be very interested in it myself, as I
am in most of Woz's code.

But in the case of both DOS and Applesoft, there once really was (and
maybe still is) a machine-readable assembler source file--there was never
any such source file for Integer BASIC.
