Question Anyone else have dissected award BIOS source code ?

After disassembling my BIOS binary (dated 28 July 2000) and comparing it with the source code available to me (1997-1999), I found that the source code is some kind of a "certain mixture" of award BIOS 1998 and 1999 code. From this fact I'm quite sure there has to be a release of award BIOS "base code" in between this releases that "close enough" to my BIOS binary disassembly result. As a note, there are several routine that I can't found in those source code which resides inside the disassembly result. If another "BIOS hacker" here have found a better explanation on this, or if you have an award BIOS source code for VIA chipset based motherboard around early 1999, please let me now. Thx

The point is, I already have the source code and I'm willing to know it's "award versioning system". You can read my findings (this is slightly reduced version of the guide I already uploaded to the FTP) at _http://www.geocities.com/mamanzip/Articles/Award_Bios_RE/Award_Bios_RE_guide.html. This is my level of understanding right now. I'm quite sure there's a "missing" version between the two award bios source code I have (between 1998 and the 1999 source code) right now and I'm keen to have it . I know that I even have the source code for the different chipset than the one used in my mainboard, but that doesn't really matter. Here's a quick hint: why my BIOS uses the majority of 1998 source code but uses the 1999 LZH decompression engine in the bootblock ?
