I wonder if I could decompile PCE and update it?

If you need to ask, no.

Could you decode a 43KB .exe file, or find the password for me?

Possibly. I have never decoded a pascal program before, but I doubt it makes any difference really. It won't give you the src though, but I could either figure out the password or bypass it.

Pascal is compiled, so yes it's m68k asm disassembly. Shouldn't be too hard.

Aye, not for you but the guy who wanted his source back might balk at the sight of 40 pages of 68K mnemonics

That's why I opted for the "or find the password for me" part.

Excuse me, but this is a MS-DOS program.

As this is amiga.org I thought the program would have been compiled to AmigaOS binary... I'm afraid I can't do much about the DOS app. Sorry.

Of course you will end up with C source rather than Pascal source

Uh?

Well, I know there are apps that try to convert binaries to C code, but I doubt they produce any more readable code than x86 disassembly, anyway. :-)

Oh well, I still believe decompiler output is far from usable (at least the outputs I've seen, though I must admit it was years ago. Technology has gone forward since then I suppose).
