IIRC Turbo Pascal produces quite easy code (probably because it doesn't
optimize very much ;) so there's no reason why it should fail (as long as
you assume the code doesn't contain inline assembly).

But I'd say that creating a decomiler is much more work than creating a
compiler (which I from experience know is a quite hard task) so it is very
possible the developers simply realised that it was a bigger effort than
they had the time and will to do.
