- The real dilemma arises if the original program's writer works in
- another language than English. All the known reverse compilers will
- choke in trying to reverse-engineer eg Finnish program comments and
- Finnish procedure names. Other than that, piece of cake, except
- some source code indentations might sometimes not be restored quite
- accurately. :-) :-)
-
- Take this with a big pinch of salt!

- All the best, Timo
