The needing of online *.fas decompiler

[Anonymous]

Dear Autodesk support team,

My name is Dao Ngoc Anh Nhi, a civil engineer from Vietnam.
I have worked with autolisp for a long time, from 2003 till now. I have alot of lisp scripts for customize task, ex: cutting the dimensions, analyzing the structures (columns, beam, floors...) for the rebar areas. My lisp component is about 130 commands.... It is written by me in about 13 years.

From january, 2014, my computer and laptop was stolen, so I loss all my lisp source code. But the component *.fas files still remain, because I give the component to my friends for their work. The number of friends which used my component is about 30 people. Nearly all of them think that the component is usefull.

I have searched on the internet but don't see the *.fas decompiler !
Is there any *.fas decompiler for my case ?

I think, Autodesk should have a page on its website for the people like me. The reason are the popularity autolisp and the legitimate rights of autolisp developers.

That page for the developers upload their *.fas files and get the .lsp file after submit the form on the page.
The page can check the user by asking some secure questions which are known by the author only.

Please, if you got some solutions, contact with me by email: anhnhisc@gmail.com

Thank alot !

This is precisely why backups should not be stored on or with, the device they are worked with (in otherwords, thats not a backup).  They should be on a network which has its own backup system, offline in a separate location, or using an online preservation utility.  Any reasonable backup should accomodate the complete loss of the device in question.

Given the relative lack of popularity of FAS/compiled LISP and the potential for abuse I can't see this ever happening.

His words are in line with the US government
wanting Apple to unlock an iPhone.

We all know what Apple's view of this matter.
