Hi,
I have a .COM file which was made using Bat2com. Now i want to read the contents of that Com file again. Is there any utility to convert .COM file to .Bat or atleast read the contents of the .COM file..

I am not an authority on the subject by any means, but I believe once you convert a batch file to a com file, the program which converted it changed it into the equivelant of an executable. Therefore, you would need to use a program such as softice to decompile it down to the assembly code, and then can piece back the basic operation to a batchfile. Chances are, you don't know how to do this (No offense, only the strangest of geeks and nerds venture into assembly code), and even if you did, it would take way too long for it to be worth it. How complicated is your batchfile? Try posting what you want it to do, and maybe someone on here will write you a new one.
