I just finished my program, bound it, and deleted the .ex file by accident. Now I need to update it, but all I have is the exe!!! Has anyone got a decompiler, or know where I can find one???

Has anyone got a > decompiler, or know where I can find one??? did you try 'undelete'? if you aren't familiar with 'undelete' or its multitudinous variants, find a guru BEFORE you do anything to speak of with or to your computer. 'undelete' and its kin work exponentially better if the computer has NOT been used to do anything that would create, delete, or modify any files on that drive. windoze and such continuously write/rewrite data to HD's (swap-file is a guaranteed way to make file undeletion near impossible...). so, if you don't know how to undelete, turn off the computer and find a guru. if running win95, don't try DOS only utilities. (i.e.: norton8...its dos/win31 ONLY) if you do know how to use undelete, don't forget to LOCK the drive (if under win95) and its by far BEST to reboot into _pure_ DOS only (f8 to show menu when 'starting win95' shows) none of this information is being provided with any warranty. hope this helps--Hawke

It's probably possible for Rob to unbind/unshroud a program, but that might be a security gap or something...I usually make copies of my source and store it in 2 directories or 2 drives...

Well, some1 made a decompiler once, but thanfully never released it. 1) You'll get code with short variable names like 'xcv' 2) No comments are there 3) Include files or not, all code in one big file Would he release the decompiler, then we can decompile everybody's code. Some of us, don't want that. Packard for example, is asking money for the source. Extracting it doesn't help the Euphoria community. So it was never released. Maybe the person that had the decompiler, could decompile the code for you. Although I must admit, I can't remember who it was. I'm pretty sure one would keep a tool like that. Just don't go releasing it anyway. BTW If you have binded it with the -encrypt option that you really run out of luck! No way to get your source then. Robert wouldn't and shouldn't release the encryption algoritm. But you might be able to sent you .exe to the one who could decompile it.
