The developer died 14 years ago, here's a print out of his source code

I would have

Assessed that the old machine is fried.

Checked that the old disk is unreadable.

Tried to extract data from the backup.

Suggested a new system should be developed, that would reuse the old data from the backup.I see no points in trying to re-create a system as old as the one that died, especially when the software is no more than a pile of pages.
