FoxLift, a Visual FoxPro 9 decompiler with receipts
This open-source tool turns compiled Visual FoxPro 9 binaries into annotated, rebuildable source projects.
Field notes
The CLI accepts several legacy VFP9 artifact types and writes a structured recovery directory containing canonical source, symbols, and per-section metadata. The project distinguishes recoverable code from compiler-erased material, including comments and some parameter names, and preserves unsupported slices as named placeholders. Its verification examples compare recompilation output against original bytecode, while planned work extends from method recovery toward complete project artifact reconstruction.
