John if you get your hands on Merlin (it was included in the D3 CD as a
shareware)
it can reopen executables created with Delphi and C++Builder in the appropriate
compiler and show the original code. It might also open and show the code of
your compiled .dcu file as well, I am not sure. find the Merlin shareware
utility suit and it might as well save your day.
