the company work has programme no longer supported called qadisplay. within of programme tool annotating images. it's similar photoshop in takes layer based approach annotations each annotation own class in delphi 7. these annotations stored base of operations image , text file info describing contents of annotaion.

the issue text displayed in annotations somehow encoded in text file. example, if annotation displays "arial" (without quotes), text file written as: text (type of annotation) 5 (length of literal string, in case: arial) 07)i86p (the encoded string)

what need extract of text annotations in preparation installation of our new software system.

i not familiar delphi , not have access source code. have tried disassemble executable haven't had much luck there. have ideas on how approach decoding this? i've googled around bit (arial "07)i86p") , found results relating virus scan error logs , things of nature no dice on found helpful in relation issue i'm having.

that not standard text encoding. maybe encrypted?

without documentation or contact original developers, have reverse engineer app. using disassembler/debugger ida, if can pause app after loads 07)i86p memory, can follow code processes characters, help reconstruct decode algorithm.
