Is there a way to open an executable to get the source code?

[Juniper]

I have an executable file for a simple program, how do I get the source code from it? Is there a way?

Not exactly, but you can use SoftICE to trace its variables and functions.

If you are lucky you can find a decompiler (e.g. if the program was coded in Visual Basic versions up to 4).

Good luck!! If you can develop software that'll determine source from compiled . . . you'll be a RICH RICH RICH man.

How about if it was compiled using GCC compiler?

Check this page

P.S. Wanted to quote the description of the 10th site, but it wouldn't let me cause it contained a 'forbidden word'
