Was there a reason it was dropped? Just wondering ... While I've never needed one, I can think of a few close calls at client sites where they lost custom source code!

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 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. > > Best regards, > Gyle > [EMAIL PROTECTED] > www.srs4uv.com > ------- > u2-users mailing list > u2-users@listserver.u2ug.org > To unsubscribe please visithttp://listserver.u2ug.org/ > > _______________________________________________ > U2-Users mailing list > U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org > http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users > _______________________________________________ > U2-Users mailing list > U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org > http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users > _______________________________________________ > U2-Users mailing list > U2-Users@listserver.u2ug.org > http://listserver.u2ug.org/mailman/listinfo/u2-users > ----------------------------------------------------- Lee J.
