I came to find out it was Red Hat 6 system. At that time RHEL 4 came out, the last version Red Hat was 9. <br><br>I passed on the job because, I told him it was going to be hard to take care of such of system. </div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Jun 21, 2021 at 8:02 AM Phil Turmel via Ale <<a href="mailto:ale@ale.org">ale@ale.org</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Time for a java decompiler, I think.<br>
