callback functions

    I am trying to extract callback functions from a sch cellview. I used
    cdfDump() to get the information of each parameters. However, what I
    can get is the callback function names. The callback functions themself
    are stored in a compiled skill code which I have no way to open it. Is
    there anyway I can get those callback functions?

    Thanks,

  2. I am afraid there is little happiness in your future. They are either
    stored in .ile files, which are encrypted, or in .cxt files, which are
    also encrypted. The callbacks are stored that way because the people who
    wrote them do not want people reading them.

    CDF procedures, like the library they come with, are considered to be
    intellectual property you are licensed to use. The key word there is
    "use". It is very likely that the license specifically prohibits what
    you are trying to do. It may even allow the vendor to revoke your
    license for even attempting to reverse engineer their CDF procedures.

    If you have a legitimate reason for needing the source code of the CDF
    procedures, contact your vendor. They may agree with you and provide it.
