Dear all,
I have a Dos program that makes calculations for me, but this is a very very very old program and i want to know what the formules are in the program. The only thing i get are question to make a calculation but where the are based on is a big clou for me.
I hope any can help me or give me an answer how to look into the formules in the dos program.
When i open the folder where the dos program is in i see a lot of files can i see in what file the formules are and can i open them with a special program ?
I hope any one can help me with this !!!
Thnka You

Re: Extract dos program
is it exe files ?
if it was .bat open with notepad, but exe cann't be read unless you have the source code.
you can search for the source code you will find it if it was open source.

Re: Extract dos program
source file depends on the language it was written in, it could be .c or .cpp ..etc,
.bat files is called batch files and this is what we create here in the forum, it uses dos commands like copy, move, del .. etc
