Of course IDA disassembles it, but nothing I have runs it, and none of the delphi tools will decompile it, etc.

So, anyone know of any tools for this job?

PE Explorer can help you to get forms.. objects.. but I'm not sure that it work also with oldest delphi release.. what's the version? 1 or 2?

Not sure WHAT version it is. The executable has a date of 1998!

I think that a debugger is really all that I'm missing, as my tool combo is normally just IDA, and a debugger.

Try this:

1. Install a VM
2. Grab a copy of CLASSIC win98 SE and install on VM
3. Install SOFTICE or use Turbo Debugger on the VM

Debug to heart's content.

Will "Turbo Debugger for Windows" run on XP? (The app runs fine on XP).

(As if I could find said debugger anywhere).

If anyone has a good package with the old Turbo Debugger, please let me know, and we can put it in the CRCETL (abandonware...).

There you go:

Also, I'm quite certain that SoftICE always used to include a special 16-bit version of the debugger when you installed it, also in its Windows 32 bit versions?
