You want to talk to Joe Bolian at http://www.stopwatchmaps.com/. He's a
great guy. Here's what he posted as a reply to someone recently on this topic:

We have a MapBasic decompiler.
We do not DISTRIBUTE this decompiler, because it would be too handy a means
for reverse engineering of other peoples' intellectual property. On the other
hand, for modest sized programs where the owner somehow lost the source but can
authenticate ownership, we have performed decompilations as a no-cost courtesy.
And where there are larger programs, or suites of programs to be decompiled
(and, again, where one can reasonably authenticate ownership), we have
performed decompilation for a fee.
For more information please contact us by e-mail or phone (314) 863-4636 or
through our web site.
