How can someone obtain a copy of it?

Folks,
Infocus had a Unidata decompiler (Xtrico) which we stopped development
and licensing on a number of years ago. I am not aware of any others
under development.
Cheers,

I know there was a decompiler available. I don't remember if Lee
Leitner (Infocus) or Fitzgerald and Long were the resellers for this

if Lee, Peggy or Jeff could put their two cents in on this.

I don't know of any UniData UniBasic object code decompiler
utilities. Certainly none ever created by the UniData engineering team.

Does anyone know how to find out more information about 'IBM's
compiler'?
(see
http://www.mail-archive.com/u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org/msg10843.html )
Does anyone know where to locate a decompiler (or decompiler service)
for UNIBASIC (UNIDATA BASIC)?
Does anyone know how to access the 'free decompiler that Universe
provides'?

use the free decompiler that UniVerse provides?*

When you need to recover the BASIC source code for PI/open or
UniVerse systems, your ultimate source is found at www.srs4uv.com.
The srs4uv team has helped companies, government agencies and
learning institutions around the globe with their source recoveries
for over 22 years. Many srs4uv customers tried IBM's PI/open
decompiler beforehand and seem amazed at how easy the recovered
programs are to read and maintain.
</AD>
While the PI/open decompiler provided by IBM was a technically
accurate utility, the maintainability of their recovered source code
leaves much to be desired. IBM's decompiler failed to perform logical
structure recovery, the most important quality, as this impacts the
long-term maintainability of the programs. (There are other
deficiencies with IBM's decompiler, such as, maintainable common
member naming, reversing equated variable expressions, and recovering
programs with certain internal-use statements. Please contact me
directly for additional information on these PI/open recovery issues.)
The logical structure for LOOP-REPEAT, FOR-NEXT and CASE statements,
like IF-THEN-ELSE statements, are translated by a BASIC compiler into
conditional and unconditional branch instructions. IBM's PI/open
decompiler took the lazy-mans approach to decompiling, returning
conditional branches as IF-THEN statements and unconditional branches
as GOTO statements. As you might imagine, IBM's results look like a
pile of spaghetti code. The srs4uv decompilers analyze the branch
patterns to recover all of the high-level logical structures, making
the recovered source code look as good, if not better, than the
original source code.
