     If you're willing to do a little work, you could convert the machine
back into assembly, alter it a bit as needed, then cross-assemble to another
machine's machine code. (These are called cross-compilers; the utilities
that convert the machine code to assembly are called disassemblers.)
     All this assumes that you have the rights to mess with BTrieve, of
course.
