I'm not sure what you intend to find, but .sys, .com, and .cpi files are the result of runnning source code thru a processor program (ex. an Assembler). Try using a Hex Editor

Isn't a .sys file plain text? (If not, I'm sorry for the confusion; it's been years since I worked on a machine that had a config.sys in use and even then I wasn't interested in it. Can't think of any other .sys files off the bat...)

There are exceptions (config.sys may be the only text file), but most .sys files are drivers ( ex. himem.sys and a truckload of others)
