Bill:
I take exception to your request.
What you are asking for is both illegal and unethical!
Nobody has the right to boadcast methods for breaking into compiled or
encrypted code.
As to your misfortune -- assuming that your story is true -- suggests
that you made a foolish bargain. Either pay the guy the money or take
him to small claims court. Legally, you are entitled to the source
code.
Note that the legal system that awards you legal right to your
intellectual property is the same legal system that protects the
intellectual property of others from characters like you who attempt
to steal it.
Sincerely yours,
Leslie Walko
