# ProjectorRays

> ProjectorRays decompiles Adobe Director and Shockwave movies back to Lingo and editable project files. A DCR or DXR becomes a DIR, and a CCT or CXT becomes a CST. The Windows release is projectorrays-0.2.0.exe. Drag a file or folder onto it, or run projectorrays-0.2.0.exe decompile with an input path. On Unix, make builds it after Boost 1.72.0 or later, mpg123, and zlib are installed. ./projectorrays decompile takes a file or a directory.
