 Oh dear.. :-(
The short answer is no. You can get a text output, but it will be assembler.
If you have a companion debugger, you can often get a little bit more,
depending on where the compiler writer puts the symbolic debug info.
 IT is probably faster to re-write the code...

In TopSpeed, there is ParamStr and ParamCount, so SB should have something
similar.
