If you need to analyze a legacy .exe , these are the industry-standard tools used to reverse-engineer the Delphi environment. 1. DeDe (Delphi Decompiler)

Jack's eyes lit up. "I think I have just the tool for the job," he said. "Borland Delphi 7 Decompiler. I have a copy lying around somewhere."

While no tool can perfectly restore the original source code (comments and local variable names are lost forever), several tools have become industry standards for analyzing Delphi 7 binaries.

Borland Delphi 7, released in 2002, is a robust Rapid Application Development (RAD) tool using Object Pascal. Applications compiled with Delphi 7 present unique characteristics (e.g., proprietary Virtual Method Table layout, RTTI - Run-Time Type Information) that differentiate them from C++ or .NET executables.
