# dcc

> dcc is Cristina Cifuentes and Mike Van Emmerik's decompiler for DOS executables, with later fixes for memory reallocation during decompilation. The distribution includes the 1994 and 1997 sources, Borland, Microsoft, and Turbo Pascal signature files, and small test executables such as fibo and strlen. Switches include a1 and a2 for assembler listings, i for the interactive disassembler, and o for an assembler output file. If it loads dccxxx.sig, it did not recognise the compiler library. The DCC environment variable points at the signature directory.
