New month, new suggestion(?)
While I've not been as active in the Euphoria community as I'd like to be,
(I'm slowly watching my contributions slide down towards the archive :) )
, I still lurk on the list, read the flamewars and puzzle over the listserv
talking to itself. :)
While reading, a good idea came to me that I don't recall being mentioned
before (although there's a vague hint that it might have been):
Rob; How about distributing a pdbind.ex[w|u] with the Public Domain edition
that allows non-registered users to bind pre-shrouded/scrambled sourcecode,
but not their own unshrouded code?
This would help registered Euphorians, who like to distribute the
occasional compiled package, but don't want to include the "weight" of the
interpreter.
I realise this might allow those who are registered for DOS32/Win32 but not
Linux (or vice versa) to create executables in the other operating system,
but I'm sure there'd be a way to stop users doing that in the next
release. ;)
In fact, a solution occurs to me as I type:
For pdbind to work, the source must be both shrouded *and* scrambled. Then
all that is needed is a different scrambler algorithm per operating system,
and it prevents the problem I mentioned above. (Because it simply wouldn't
run!).
What say ye, my fellow Euphorians? (Or have I missed something again? :) )
