Hi,


I dont think that the translation of assembly code to C is possible.


Even with code that was compiled from C to assembly it is a problem to
translate it back. I have heard in the past of several tools, but all
i tried did a very bad job.


When the Assembly code was made manually and was optimized i think
there is no chance to translate it to C.


The only possibility is if you are happy with very ugly C code,
where every assembly command is translated to a C Function.
