Answer 1

"how do i use the compiler to find its source code?

This isn't happening. If the code isn't provided you are out of luck.

The best you can do is try to decompile to assembly instructions.

Answer 2

you will need to find a decompiler, it will decompile that code, but there will be no comments and all variable/function names will lost and replaced with something like var1, var2, ... and func1, func2, func3...., this will make very difficult to follow the code and understand what is going on.

good luck

Answer 3

well if you got the program from the internet than you can right click n click on the view source butten.

If it is a regular program then if u put in the cd and search it for the source
