Limitations


 Rescue5 has the following limitations:

 1) Comments cannot be recovered (CA-Clipper removes these).

 2) Local and static variable names cannot be recovered from
    code compiled without the /b switch (CA-Clipper converts
    them into indices into local stack frames).  Note that
    static procedure names are recovered.  Rescue5 creates its
    own local and static names and allows you to change them.

 3) Unreachable code may not be recovered since this is
    optimised out by CA-Clipper.

 4) Code cannot necessarily be grouped into the same source
    files it was compiled in.  In a fully linked .EXE file the
    original object modules are combined and it is not possible
    to identify how procedures were grouped before compilation.
    In practice, Rescue5 manages to correctly group most
    procedures.

 5) Rescue5 cannot guarantee to decompile code that relies on
    undocumented features of the CA-Clipper compiler, although
    we have tested it with all the undocumented features we know
    about.

 6) Rescue5 can only recover the first 10 characters of memvar
    and procedure names, since CA-Clipper truncates symbol names
    when it compiles.
