How do you uncompile an EXE file

Comment:
After having written a small program, I have compiled this into and EXE file. After having tested this I need to make some changes, BUT, how do I uncompile the file to do this. Is their a uncompiler program available for me to carry out this operation. I have written the program in Paradox 8

I don't think EXE's are designed to uncompile. That would make it too easy for people to customize other people's programs and claim it to be their own. Your source files should be in the same place you saved them. If you lost it, you're screwed.

Surely you change the source and recompile? Or am I missing summat?

Most programming languages I know have the ability to "decompile". I don't know Paradox though. HTH, wcr3d

you have no chance to do that becouse if you even uncompil exe it will be almost all text in the assembly language

If you REALLY wrote it, then you have a copy of the source code. Compiling would not overwrite the source file. Please don't insult our intelligence.
