    If you mean disassembler, there's plenty of them around. Try looking
    for the NASM program - it's got a disassembler.
    If you mean discompiler - then your professor is no Guru. The only
    thing you have to understand about compilers to know that you can't
    translate machine code to its original code is the following:
    code -> intermediate code -> optimization -> machine code
    Most compilers translate highlevel code into tripplets/quadruplets
    (intermediate code that is machine independant) optimize is and
    the translates that into machine code.
    What this means is that the same highlevel statement does not 
    produce the same machine code every time (do to optimization
    and the programmers choice of intermediate code).
