Subject: Decompiling a TP .EXE

56. *****
 Q: How can I reverse a TP .EXE or .TPU back into source code?

 A: This is simply asking too much. You cannot decompile a TP
program in a manner that would give you back the original source.
This method of reverse engineering is not on in actual practice.
Quoting Jeroen Pluimers (jeroenp@dragons.nest.nl) "During the
compilation, important information get's lost about variables,
types, identifiers etc. Writing a Pascal Decompiler is impossible.
The best you can achieve is a disassembler that can help you
recognize some Pascal statements."
   You might note that this question somewhat resembles another
frequent question "How can I convert a TPU unit of one TP version to
another?" which cannot be solved without the original source code.
