How to decompile or decode an executable?

I have a file type of: executable (RISC System/6000 V3.1) or obj module not stripped

How can I decode it? I know that this may be somewhat involved, but if you could steer me in the right direction, I would appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello,

You should play with objdump (from GNU binutils package).

Good luck!

Use the debugger to analyze the dump.

I hope this helps.
