Decompilers serve several essential technical and business functions: Decompile VFP files - Google Groups

In a FoxPro migration project, the decompilation phase is often the first step—but what happens after that matters even more.

: Reconstruct the main procedural files ( .PRG ). Check the logic logs generated by the decompiler to spot any unresolvable tokens or corrupted data blocks.

refers to a category of tools, sometimes also called “FoxBASE+ Decompiler,” that can handle a range of file types—from FoxBase to VFP 6.0 versions. These tools are often distributed as shareware and may limit the number of files you can decompile in a demo mode.

These are stored as metadata in tables ( .SCX and .FRX ), making them very easy to reconstruct.

Widely considered the gold standard, ReFox supports versions from FoxBASE+ to VFP 9.0. It features a GUI for viewing code directly and can "split" entire executables to regenerate a full Visual FoxPro project .
