Converting .spr back to .scx

[thamisfit]

I'm working on updating an old Foxpro 2.6 application. Since the original designer left no source code behind I was able to decompile the application from the executable. My problem is that I need to add components to the screens of the application. Now here's my question, is there a utility available that will convert the .spr to .scx ... I could edit the source files manually but that would be a tedious task and it is so much easier to drag and drop the required components. Any thoughts?

The Chinese UNFOXALL foxpro decompiler contains a program called spr2scx which converts generated screens back to scx tables and generated menus (mpr) back to mnx tables.
I don't know if it is any good, I've never used it up till now.

Give me an email address and I'll mail it to you.

Here is a link for the spr2scx program.

I have the same situation and the link you set up may 23,2003 did not work. Could you repost it or let me know if there is another way or product.

Thanks

I'm reposting it.
It might take a little time because the server is having some problems....but it will get there, just use the link I put up in may.

Another way of rebuilding SCX or MNX files is using Refox MMII, that is able to rebuild those files while decompiing...

Yet another solution is that you zip the spr files and send them to me (if there are only a few...) and I'll try to rebuild them for you.

Try this:

As a Tek-Tips Forum user it'll be free if the decompile is possible

Spr back to scx is no decompilation.
A spr file is a screen.prg file generated by a screengenerator based on a scx file that has been composed by a developer.
Spr back to scx is rebuilding the form based on the generated spr file.

Ok, thought my post might help

Good luck with your project
