| | What to Look For | |---|---| | File Format Support | Does the tool support the specific file types you need: .EXE , .APP , .FXP , .SCX , .VCX , .FRX , .DBC , etc.? | | Version Coverage | Does it support the exact FoxPro version of your application: FoxBASE, FoxPro 2.x, VFP 3.0–9.0? | | Quality of Recovered Code | Does it preserve variable and procedure names? Can it maintain control flow and SQL queries in a readable format? | | Protection Handling | Can it work with protected applications? (If not, are you certain your executable is unprotected?) | | Modernization Features | Does it include separation features for extracting specific components for migration? Does it have comparison tools to validate recovery? | | Usability | Is there a GUI interface, or must you work from the command line? Is documentation available in your preferred language? | | Licensing | Is the tool free, shareware-limited, or fully licensed? If licensed, does it fit your budget? | foxpro decompiler

FoxPro’s p-code stores variable names only in debug builds. In release builds, variables are referenced by stack positions. Decompilers assign placeholder names like lcUnk001 , making code hard to read.

ReFox is the most sophisticated decompiler ever made for FoxPro. It can rebuild entire projects from a single EXE, restoring forms, menus, reports, and class libraries with astonishing accuracy.

Many migration consultants require clients to sign a formal declaration that they own the copyright before offering decompilation services.
