Hi,

I am having a problem with the Valkyrie decompiler. For some reason it
is not able to decompile our application.

The funny thing is that we can get the demo version of Rescue5 to
decompile it fine, but it is only the demo version and we can't find
the full version for purchase anywhere. At least it gives hope that
this isn't a lost cause...

The VAU analysis tool indicates things are fine but the preprocessor
comes up with the error "Unrecognized Linker Code".

Examining the program with a hex editor shows too that the compiler was
Clipper 5.2d (Revision 215).

When I run the analysis utility I get the following output.

C:\DOCUME~1\AMilner\Desktop\FASTNO~1>vau myprog

Valkyrie Analysis Utility, Version 2.05

MYPROG.EXE Searching.......................................
Compiler is Clipper 5.x
Linker is Blinker 2.x

Does anyone have any ideas what the trick might be?

Hi,

You are attempting to use the S'87 version with a Clipper 5.x
version....a no-no!
