Sadly, no. You can't recover your "source" program back from the "compiled" program stored on the robot. You can copy a compiled file on and off a robot but that has rather limited use. This topic has actually come up on this thread multiple times already this fall - and it is a perennial favorite. The only answer is "backup your source programs after every session" but that only applies to the next time, unfortunately.

It seems to return in a different/unreadable format. - Lisa Sent from my Verizon Wireless BlackBerry -- To UNSUBSCRIBE or CHANGE your settings, please visit https://listserv.jmu.edu/archives/vadcfll-l.html and select "Join or leave the list". -- VADCFLL administrative announcements are sent via VADCFLL-ANNOUNCEMENTS-L.
