How to revert *.r files back to *.p/w ?

[slh]

Hi Guys,

Anyone ever tried revert *.r file back to *.w/ *.p?

Officially there is no way to de-compile a .r file - Progress does not provide any tool to do that.

In the past one Progress Partner - DotR Limited in UK - offered such a service but AFAIK they do not anymore.


Heavy Regards, RealHeavyDude.

DotR offered decryption of source encrypted with the Progress xcode utility (provided that you could prove you owned it).

There have been a couple of decompilers floating around over the years. "PDECODE" posts about his every now and again. He also does decryption. I have no idea how good the quality is -- I try not to lose my source

Seen something interesting that could partially fit to your request here : http://progress-tools.110mb.com/rcode.html

Hi grunnpi/ PDECODE,

Seems like there might have some blockage to the website by my anti virus.

IIRC, there was a guy in Brisbane who wrote a partially functioning decompiler. Looked interesting but I didn't get very far with it.

A guy where wrote an P code decrypter in 5 minutes and it is 100% reliable. It relies on the default encryption key, though. Without that, you are in SuperComputer territory, I think.

Encrypted source isn't useful without the key. If someone is distributing it they are also distributing they key....
