About recovering data from the gblorb files

[MassimoS]

Hi everybody, I recently lost the source code of a work of mines (an
italian IF titled 'Frammenti di Identità') and I would like to know if
there is any way I could recover them from the compiled gblorb files.
I used IF7 Windows IDE to write and compile the sources. I guess there
is no solution for my problem because I have already done several
useless searches about this topic.
Thank you for any kind answer!

Not much of it. You could extract the glulx game file and then
disassemble it, but the result would be machine-generated I6 code --
it wouldn't have the structure of the original I7.

However, you should at least be able to get your text strings out.

Only problem is, I haven't tested the Glulx disassembler in several
versions. I don't know if it still works.

It doesn't. I've hacked on it a bit to get it partially working again
for my own use, but it would need quite a lot more work to be
releasable.
