I have an FLX file and a potentially accurate source file. Can the DataFlex Decompilers help me?

Yes! This is one of the best unadvertised uses of the decompilers: We will work with you to help you identify the differences between the existing FLX file and the potential source file. Here is what you should do: 1) Compile the proposed source file. Keep it separate from your existing FLX file (make sure dfcomp doesn’t destroy your existing FLX file). 2) Send to us both the newly compiled FLX file and the older (in-use) FLX file. 3) We will decompile both FLX files and send the sources back to you. 4) Compare the two source files of the decompiled programs. Any differences between the decompiled sources is the differences that need to be added or subtracted to/from the proposed source to make the proposed source file match the original source file. This process can be repeated until the decompiled sources match as closely as possible.
