Well, or not. But since we cannot bind the modified front end to make an exe
anyhow, does it really make a difference? Will the customer accept an install
product from RDS which modifies their registry, when what they wanted was
a few files (the backend and binder) so they can run someone's modified
frontend.il or their application.il? I don't think so. Make them buy the $79
backend and binder if you want to try charging that much for just those 2
files, and let the developer make a file.bat to bind once on their customer's
machine and have their exe. NO INSTALL PROGRAM!
But the bug in the whole ointment is that we can't bind/shroud or otherwise
use the il code to do anything that RDS doesn't already do. So, for instance,
we cannot run an app that calls something else to make .il code which we
then run in the same variable space.
