Please post or E-mail answers:

-Is there any way to "decompile" an object file into C code if it was
written either in C or C++ (I assume decompilation to C++ would be
impossible)?  If not, is there any way, other than translation from
assembly by hand, to get object code into a more usable/understandable form?

-I am including a C++ file in one of my main programs.  Is there any way
to precompile it (so that only the object code is available) and include
it in the main program's source code so that everything will compile, but
to do this without messing with Makefiles or command-line options?

Thanks for any help.
