This is really a C question.

Remeber that the process is like this:

*.pc --> Oracle ProC --> *.c --> C/C++ compiler --> *.exe

If you have an .EXE you first need to get the C source code (which is very had to do, if not impossible). You may get C source, but it will have the output of the ProC preprocessor (a bunch of calls to an Oracle API). Then you need a program to "decompile" yet again, this time fro the .c file to the .pc file.

All in all, I'd place a strong bet that it cannot be done. Received on Wed May 16 2001 - 18:38:06 CDT
