What programme, in debian, can open 'foo.elc' please. I've tried
'leafpad' but that just showed it as a compiled programme.

Thanks
Sharon.

Install emacs elisp source.
On Fedora, it's a separate package.

The .elc file is compiled and won't help you even if you had something
to read it.

Emacs, of course.  The Emacs trunk even has a specific major mode for it.

That's because it *is* a compiled program,
