getting from exe to Livecode

[Michael Kann]

Alistair,

I checked out the program I recommended and it doesn't work on LiveCode standalones with passwords. As usual, Jacqueline is the go-to person for standalones (and everything else). 

The analogx website does have some other interesting programs and I've never had any problem with any of them. When TechTV was on, the main guy (can't think of his name) used to always put in a good word for analogx.

Hi,

I have just discovered, after numerous changes of my operating system
(finally settled on Ubuntu) for various reasons, that I have deleted (doh!)
my latest version of an application that I was working on. I did do backups
and archive and all the rest but these files were worked on in a rush and I
obviously forgot to put them where they needed to be for capture (damn and
blast). I usually also print out a hard copy of the scripts that I am
writing but, wouldn't you know it, I didn't do that this time.

I do, however, have a windows exe file of the last version which I (happily
enough) emailed to a student to use in his project. I bet you can see where
this is going. Can anyone tell me whether there is a straightforward (not
necessarily simple) way of reverse engineering the exe file so that I can
get at the scripts?

cheers
