is it in elf format??? if it is in aout format then you can have
convert back to
..c file but it is difficult.
first you have to reverse engineer it to .asm or .s then u can use
asm2c to get your work done. but the end result is not exactly the same
as original.

You might be able to get it back into the shape of a cow relatively
easily. However, it may or may not look anything like the original
cow(s).

Yes harder, but for educational purposes it is ok. but there is no
guarantee the code will be compiled and give actual result.

Is this supposed to have some meaning? Include suitable context.
See my sig. below for how to do it even with the google usenet
interface.
