Please, feel free to write/express anything you want here.

I always use any opportunity available to try to expand the forum beyond the 'programming talking'.

Any help on that is welcome :)

Hello Italy1,

I remember using such software about 25 years ago! It was a commercially available program that was specifically written for xbase/Clipper code, which reverse engineered a targeted .exe file to produce .prg file code which could then be edited and recompiled to create a new .exe file. (I got it because I'd lost some source code and was desperate to get it back to make changes!)
As I remember, it wasn't actually very good, and I only used it once or twice. I have no idea what the program was called, but I'm sure that there are people out there creating such things. I'm not sure that there's much that could be done to stop it if someone who knows what they are doing is really determined!!
