Hi guys! I'm Filippo from university "La Sapienza" of Rome, Physics Depertment... I just wanna ask a question:
Can I get down a source code from a tokenized EEPROM?·
I want to explain my request better: if·I·already have a compiled BS2, can I "go back" to find the source code or not?
I hope you'll help me soon, if·you can...
In every case... thank you for helping me.

    No, you can't.

    Theoretically, you could read out the contents of the EEPROM using external equipment and there are some books on the market that describe the format of the tokenized code, but there's a lot of information that's missing like variable names and labels. It's the same problem as in decompiling any object program for any computer.

    Ok! thank you for the reply... I'll try to call the author of the PBasic program...
    I hope he has not deleted the source code yet...
