DataFlex Decompilers can recreate DataFlex source code from a compiled .FLX file in case the original source code is ever lost. Over the past twenty years, DataFlex Decompilers have helped thousands of developers worldwide to recover lost source code. DataFlex programs can be decompiled using our service. The Database Managers is able to decompile DataFlex programs that were compiled on either a Motorola or Intel style processor.

DecFmac decompiles DataFlex FLEX.CFL files into FMAC files. All of the original DataFlex macros are restored, along with all of the custom macros dfpacked in the FLEX.CFL.

The Database Managers also offers full-service DataFlex programming services for DataFlex users. For existing applications, our decompiler technologies allow us to verify that the source code you're providing us is the same source code that was used to compile your existing programs. This means no surprises when the DataFlex code is changed and installed into your live application.

JavaLib, A Java-like C++ Open Source Library:

Log All Datafile Saves and Deletes:
This DataFlex module helps a developer discover why records are being mysteriously deleted or overwritten. It does this by logging the key fields and other important information when a specific datafile is saved or deleted. This solution is suitable for character-mode DataFlex.

A Windows API Lookup Tool:
A tool to make it easier for VDF (Visual DataFlex) programmers to create Windows API calls.
