I don't know that it's "uncalled for". I think Rory was drawing to attention that not having some kind of backup of important code is tantamount to incompetence. I would have to agree with Rory that if the code was important enough to seek a method of reverse engineering to retrieve the original, then some kind of system should have been in place long ago. Might I suggest CVS? I would have to say that "are you insane" is a bit softer on the ego than "are you a complete moron". Cheers, Rob. -- ===================================================================== Interesting thread. I'd suggest that what this thread really gets to an important issue - how to _ask_ a question. The orignal poster asked a question but didn't provide enough information for the list to really respond properly. If you have backups and know you can restore from backup and want to learn if you can reverse engineer something for grins, well then say so and help the group provide you useful information rather than whack you about the head and shoulders for failing to properly backup your system.
