I have in my possession a fairly small 700KB compiled program written 10 years ago that I would like to get access to that source. In order to update and continue it's development. I'm now the legal owner, but need the source in order to be able update and expand it's uses and this did not come with as it as it's missing due to the original seemly poor management of the company. I'm looking for someone that could decompile this program that was written many years ago. Around 2004 in C and compiled to run on Linux, if it also helps, I have a Windows server based versions. I will be perfectly honest, I have no idea were to start, other than this path, I have all the manuals, access to all the files that run the C program and the ability to write software to operate within this C program Web OS. Perhaps someone may have an interest or could offer at least a good direction on how to find the correct person or group for the job. Thanks so much for your time and have a great day.

Hi I'm running Linux and can decompile the Software for you. From there I can do what ever you want with the Software and recompile it to run on Windows and Linux. If you want, I can actually do it for 200 us dollars in less than 5 days for decompile and redevelopment or 1 day for decompile and recompile to run on later versions of Linux and Windows. Please get back in contact and I can help. Damien

Hello, decompilation of C/C++ code is a complex task and most decompilers cannot even re-create code that compiles again. Do you really need to decompile it? If it is not a very complex program, then it may be easier to re-write it from scratch. So my question is, what does that program do?

Hi, on the first look this seems to be pretty easy, anyway to get something that a developer can understand you need a lot of manual work. So normally a c-programm would be structured into multiple files, where any de-compiler around will just generate a single output ! Also variable-name could normally not be recovered and function-name not always. So at the end you have a large jumbo c-file which nobody understands. Maybe it makes sense to try the de-compile first and then try to structure the code in way it might get be re-usable for further development. I am open for discussion here. Just be sure that won't only get an "unreadable" file which mights compile but with no chance to understand. I am living in Istanbul, Turkey so at GMT +0200. But I am open for e.g. a Skype call on Hangout to dig inside the details. greetings Carsten
