Is Re-Fox (the FoxPro decompiler) creating useful code?

Question

I planned to try Re-Fox: http://www.refox.net/

They have a demo version, but when testing it says that the recompiler is not supported in trial mode (which seems strange, given that it is mainly for this tool).

This is a $ 500 product, and I spent a lot of time looking for a legitimate Re-Fox review, but I could only find sites trying to earn revenue from Google ads.

So, the question is, does Re-Fox work in context: - Does it generate code that can be used to continue working?

The decompilers I've seen in the past generate such cryptic code that it’s not real.

Thanks!

Answer 1

I believe that Refox should only be used to restore code that you cannot find anywhere else. Backups and even older versions may be better in terms of usability due to loss of #DEFINES, comments, etc. Refox also cannot recover files excluded from the project and not embedded in the EXE.

He will also not decompile code protected by the original developer using ReFox branding to protect the code.
