HI,
I saw an article about "Programming the MS Agent Control" and I need to know if exist a decompiler for a file .acf (the compiled file of ms Agent).
Or how can I open this file to see the code.

Thank you.

You cannot see the code that parses the file, since that's part of MS Agent. I don't really know what format it uses, but you could try opening it in a hex editor to try and guess at the format. If it seems like readable text, open it in a text editor. But I reckon it's unlikely to be in readable text format (not a common format back in those days).

The .acf is a result of compilation in MS Agent. This was compiled for Win98.

Yeah I got that. So why is it that you don't want to use the official API?
