Is it possible to change a standalone executable file (made by darkbasicpro) to a file readable by darkbasicpro? How?

Hah, my signature is meaningless.

In theory yes, in practice no.

You could easily disassemble any EXE into an assembly listing.
Then try and reverse engineer the groups of instructions into DBpro code.

for example the dbpro command SCALE OBJECT TEXTURE will create a unique set of assembly instructions at compile time, like a finger print.

But it would take one man YEARS to do so and even then you would not have any proper variables names or function names, just a bunch of numbers.
