This tool is locked in a vault in the basement at progress world hq. It is used for forensics for litigation cases to prove or disprove copyright infringement regarding any progress code.
A decompiler should never become available to the public, to protect the intellectual property of the sourcecode authors.
But a company named "Dot R" run by Julian Lyndon-Smith used to be the keeper of a secret decompiler... You can try to contact them/him and ask if he can decompile your r-code for you.
AFAIR, Dot R did decryption of encrypted source, not reverse compilation. There is a fellow PDECODE who talks on ProgressTalk about having such a tool, but I don't know whether it has advanced beyond version 6. He will make you prove that you have the right to the source and charge you for the process.

Truthfully I can't see anyone using this service, that owns the intellectual property.
It you own it, you should have the source.

tell me if you need help contacting him.
but just know that in almost all cases you won't be able to recover 100% of your code, that's the case with all decompilers.
probably about 60%.
he does vb.net work these days.
dunno how current the decompiler is.
i doubt there's alot of money in these projects and if it's worth maintaining.
