[llvm-dev] invalid signature error (old bitcode, new tools)

[Muhammad Umar Janjua via llvm-dev]

 At some point in 2005/6, I was using an older version of llvm-gcc.I generated files with bytecode using llvm tools at that time.
It was  GNU C version 3.4-llvm 20030924 (experimental) (i686-pc-linux-gnu)
; compiled by GNU C version 3.4.0.
I somehow lost these old tools. But after a decade, I still want to disassemble these old result files to see the code.

 So I downloaded some windows llvm tools to disassemble a bytecode file into .ll file to view the disassembly code.
However, I am seeing an invalid bitcode signature error. 
Now there could be some changes in the format that the newer version insists on.
Could some one help me with llvm-dis for windows that can disassemble the attached c6.bc file?
