Decryption of already compiled program

| Hello everyone, this may be a stupid question, but recently I lost the source-code for my project due to a fatal crash. The only thing I've got left is an slightly dated version of the already compiled exe-file. Now, is there any way, to, like "extracting" the source code back from it? So that I can continue programming on it? Ah, I fear there's not . . . :( Thanks nevertheless. |

| Nope. At least not in a useful format. |

| Yes, it's possible through programs called decompilers. However, the only decompilers that I've see only give you the assembly code of the program, and if your on a Basic forum... I somehow doubt that you know assembly. I guess it should be theoretically possible to do, as long as you know which language that the program was compiled in, but I think that you would be better served trying to use a program like the dos undelete program. |

| Hence the "not in a useful format" part of my reply. ;) |
