Hello
Anyone knows how can I see the source code of a *.dll file. I'm
working with a software camera, and I need to change some parameters.
Thanks, best regards...
Claudio

Simply put, you can't. A DLL is a binary object composed of direct 
machine instructions. It is totally specific to the CPU and potentially 
the Operating System it was designed for.

Source code is a high level, human readable, programming language. It is 
(or may be) portable across a wide range of hardware and software.

Unfortunately, machines can't read it. It must be converted from 
something people can read to somethgin dim-witted computers can 
comprehend. In the case of .exe, .com and other executable objects (as 
opposed to interpreted languages) this is done by using a compiler to do 
the conversion.

Compilation is a one-way process, once its omplete there is no way to 
get the original source code back again. 

You can use decompilation software and reverse engineering strategies to 
get source code which may look somewhat similar to the original, and 
perfroms in the same way, but its not the same.

A software *camera* ? Surely some optics are required....

> and I need to change some parameters.

You could try contacting the manufacturer. You could also try posting in 
a Usenet forum related to the topic, rather then comp.fonts....
