Thanks for the offer. I'll look into this.
Of course, that would leave me with uncommented FPW code and garbled variable names, better than nothing. Nailing down the algorithms and documenting the data structures is the first step in planning a migration to a runtime created in this century.
The organization would like a cloud-based web app they could run to keep their inventory in sync, and also support off-line ops since they are often beyond the reach of the internet (yes, there are still places like that.) But that's beyond the scope of what I can do for them as a charitable donation. I'll work with them to see if they might be able to find some grant funding, or perhaps I can pick this up as a 20% project.
But first, a Band-Aid (tm) to get them to stop using Windows XP
It looks like there might be another work-around, enabling the 16-bit VDM on 32-bit windows 10. https://www.groovypost.com/howto/enable-16-bit-application-support-windows-1...

Is that something ReFox can do? I have access to a working ReFox if you like to try it.

A charitable service organization have a custom FPW 2.6 EXE they use for some calculations and inventory, and are desperate to get it working on something more recent than Windows XP. So far, no source code has turned up.
What's out there that would let me decompile an FPW 2.6 EXE?
I'm donating my time on this, so free would be nice, but I'll spend a few $$$ if needed.
Ideas?
