From Agentpedia, the Microsoft Agent encyclopedia
The Microsoft Agent Decompiler (MAD) is a freeware decompiler application developed by Lebeau Software that allows users to decompile Microsoft Agent 2.0 characters. It was available for download on the Lebeau Software website.[1]
Usage
The program can be used to decompile Microsoft Agent characters. It can also be used to give Office Assistants and desktop assistants voices and to get the images for the character articles that lack them. In order for a character to be decompiled, they must be a 2.0 Microsoft Agent and must not exceed 256 pixels in size. Originally, it was used for when the creator developing the Microsoft Agent character loses the ACD file.

Trivia
- It was used to decompile almost every Microsoft Agent character.
- Microsoft Agent 1.5 characters were unable to be decompiled with the Microsoft Agent Decompiler due to 1.5 characters being compiled differently from 2.0 characters.
- The maximum pixels in size that a Microsoft Agent character can be decompiled is 256 pixels. Exceeding this limit throws the error "Destination buffer exceeded".
- Strangely, the audio is still decompiled even with the error.
- It is likely that the Microsoft Agent Decompiler has been discontinued by Lebeau Software.
