Dear Friends I have a Query. Is it Possible to extract the source code from ..exe,(VB,'C',C++),.dll(VB,'C',C++) or .class(java) files. A Utility program which can be written which will extract .exe-.c source code conversion or .exe-com or .exe-.frm files,.dll-.cpp,.dll-.c source code Or is it Virtually Impossible to extract the source code ??? Do the System Level Programmers who are writing compilers,interpretors,operating systems,Device Drivers,TSR,Anti-Virus Packages, Programmers who know machine language and assembly language very well can they extract the source code? Thanks, Prashant A
