About a year ago I asked for beta testers for an MS-DOS EXE-to-C decompiler
and about 20 hearty souls stepped forward. Their answer was "No." so we went
back to the drawing boards. Well, we're back with another try and looking
for beta testers again. If you'd be interested in taking this model out for
a test drive, send me your postal address and I'll send back a diskette and
a questionnaire.
Thanks, Scott

I had a decompiler for my old machine made by Microsoft, (don't ask how I
got it please), it seemed NICE for small programs but for larger programs
I would like to make a suggestion(s):
1) Tag the machine program input in such a way so that one can see what
parts of the C source are related to what, and how.
(Machine registers, memory models, code blocks relevant to source out)
2) Make it reverse engineered compatible with code view...now thats a
challenge...so that you can watch that source and machine code side
by side. (It must run both ways and yield EXACTLY the same machine code)
3) Document source code block pertaining to relevant system calls...
(Interupt IRQ calls (maybe even the level code?), bios, etc.)
4) try not to drink too much Jolt while trying to do this...OK?
5) Of course, try like hell not to get sued from releasing such a product
by everyone who applies in C. (I know if you use that thing on my
system software I would sue you till you thought you were a TYME machine
out of control)
When you get it done, make me a beta tester!
