Title: Disassembly of old app
Post by: eclipsah on October 14, 2009, 04:34:24 PM

Hi,

I have an old exe which I use to convert PLT drawings to a proprietary format and then send it to a plotter. I need to disassemble this file and get the file format and routines for the convertion process. I don't get around so good in assembler language and I mostly used it for serial/parallel I/O as inline in C programs. Can anyone help me?

Best regards

Hi eclipsah,

Welcome to the forum.

Is the exe copyrighted?

you are looking for a fun time if it's a 16-bit app
32-bit windows does not allow direct hardware i/o like 16-bit did
