Hi gang,

I've had a disk-crash a couple of months ago and lost almost all   
files on that disk.
Among the lost files is also the RR source of a program I've  
created.  The only thing I have is the windows exe file.


Is there a way to decompile this back to a working RR project  
(or  even just parts of it) or do I just start all over again?

I'm glad this worked but does the fact that it is so (relatively)  
easy and straightforward to decompile a compiled application bother  
anyone in terms of marketability issues for Rev?


Or am I just overly paranoid?

I don't think so IF this does work with password protected stacks ;-)

I'll let a shrink decide that. ;) But this isn't really any different 
than anything else in Rev. If the app is not passworded, you can read 
all the scripts in a text editor. If it is, then you can't. If someone 
decompiles the app back to a stack and it is passworded, the scripts are 
still protected.


That said, I wrote my own decompiler about 5 years ago. I kept the 
information strictly to myself. It was necessary because a client had 18 
apps for me to work on, which they owned, but had lost the source 
stacks. I had to decompile.


I suspect other people may have written their own too in the past, but 
we all kept the information private. When someone released the script to 
the public I was very disappointed. So if it is paranoia, I guess it is 
shared. Even though when I think about it rationally I don't see much to 
worry about, I think it was a mistake.

If you didn't encrypt it or remove the source code then you should be  
able to get it back. More difficult if you did those things.

RE: Decompile Windows RR application

2005-08-03 Thread Lynch, Jonathan
Does the compiled program run any separate rev stacks?

If so, you could replace that stack with a stack that contains a script
that clones the stack that is contained within the executable file.

Or maybe... Don't know if this would work, but just maybe...

You could create a stack that clones the stack contained within the exe
file... and save that stack with some unused extension, like '.qzq'

Then, set the file association in windows so that all .qzq files are run
with your executable file.

Then double click on the .qzq file to run it.

This would force the .exe file to startup, and open your .qzq stack at
the same time.

If your .qzq stack has an openstack handler like this:

On openstack
  Clone stack myStack...
  Save stack myClonedStack
End openstack

I never use clone stack, so I don't know the precise wording on using it
- but I bet this approach could work!
