How to find the source for 4ge programs ?
 
Is this possible ?

Uh, what's a "4ge program"? Could you give an example?

Informix-4GL is a 4GL programming language developed by Informix during the mid-1980s. When compiled it creates a .4ge object which is then executed in scripts. I'm trying to understand what the object code is doing but don't have any source ?

Informix 4GL is a commercial IBM product, so I doubt that you will find the sources.

Hi -

Thanx for the clarification :)

I did a Google search on "Informix 4GL decompiler" and came up with a couple of possibilities:

Q: Are there anyways to decompile a 4go/4gi/4ge written in Informix-4GL.

A: No.
