447.0. "How to see the verb on DCLTABLES.EXE" by VAXSPO::MOREY (Life, adventure without survivors) Thu Apr 10 1997 16:41

    
    	Hi,
    
    	I have customer who wants to migrate from VAX to Alpha and he has
    a verb ASM86 on DCLTABLES.EXE of VAX and he didn't have the ASM86.CLD
    which generated the verb. We need to regenerate this verb on Alpha to
    be able to run his application on Alpha.
    
    	My question is: Is there any command, or way, to extract the
    information of the verb from a DCLTABLES.EXE ????
    
    	Thanks in advance,

    If you have the sources for ASM86 then you should be able to reverse
    engineer the command definition from the code even if you couldn't use
    VERB or similar.

    	Hi,
    
    	Thanks for the fast reply.
    
    	Unfortunatelly the customer does not have the source of the
    application (ASM86) and he doesn't know how access it. I got the VERB
    from Internet and I'll try to run it.
    
    	Thanks in advance,

    re .3
    
    So I assume that the customer will VEST the image for ASM86? I hope
    that the program is public domain or that this is legal for other reasons.
