I need a utility that will take an .exe created with Delphi 1 and rebuild
the project source. I know that there is an EXE2DPR utility that will do
this for Delphi 2 and 3 .exe files and wonder if one exists for Delphi1.

Any clues appreciated.

Delphi is not lame VB; it cannot be decompiled. If you have seen a util.
for Delphi 2.x or 3.x, I'd like to hear about it, but I am extremely
sceptic. And even if you had the .DPR file, what use would it be without
units, components, etc.?

Kevin,

There is no decompiler for either Delphi 1, 2, or 3.

What does this EXE2DPR do? Just create the DPR file for you. That's
simple to do, but what would you do with just a DPR file? You need all
the PAS and DFM files too. DFMs you can do, but PAS files - you're
out of luck.

Take care,
Anders

Exe2dpr create all - DPR, DFM and PAS files :). But it's a very simple tool
and not a decompiler -
pascal modules contains only class declarations. Its unuseful tool for
intruders, but a very
useful for restoring part of lost project.

Bye.

ps. Sorry for my English
