I suspect that the .BAS and .PAS files won't get your very far.  If these
are what I think they are, they're MS-Basic and Mac Pascal programs that,
when executed, will create a copy of the BinHex 4.0 application on your
disk;  they were created by feeding BinHex 4.0 into an application called
MakeMakers.  They were posted on SUMEX for the benefit of people who
didn't have any version of BinHex, but did have one of the two language
processors.

The assembly-language code, on the other hand, could very well be what
you're looking for.
