Decompile?

-----------------------------------

I a while ago made a game for a friend using turing 4.1 he didn't have turing so i compiled him a EXE. I was going to add some stuff for the game just to quench my bordem over lunch yesterday, but i can not find the .t only the.exe

is there a way to decompile the .exe

Re: Decompile?

-----------------------------------

Turing, being a high-level language like Pascal and Basic, cannot be easily decompiled automatically. In fact, given its lack of popularity, I hardly expect anybody to attempt this.

However, an individual compiler for a specific language often produces output with a predictable format. For example, I was able to work out the addresses of all variables, procedures, and functions in the real-mode System unit of Borland Pascal 7.0. So with a good disassembler, a scientific approach, and LOTS of patience and time, you could probably carry out the decompilation by hand, given that you have the same version of the compiler (there's only one compiler anyway, right?)

Of course it is much easier to try to obtain the source file. If you absolutely cannot find it anywhere, try file recovery tools (it is usually possible to recover files after they have been deleted). If that fails, rewrite it from scratch - it will be much easier (believe me!) If for some reason your life depends upon getting the exact source back to that particular .exe (why on Earth would this be the case?) THEN you might consider what I have written...

why not install an indexer like everything [http://www.voidtools.com/]
and look for the .t file

A while ago I had a program that recovered deleted files from your hard drive...it's name escapes me now though.
