CONDENSE makes REXX source impossible to read with the naked eye. This is true 
for both CEXEC and load module formats, as otherwise the source would be 
visible regardless of which format was used.

If someone wanted to go to the trouble of extracting source from a 
compiled/condensed REXX executable, I guess it would be possible. However, 
source can be extracted from regular load modules even more easily than 
extracting it from REXX, so I think compiled/condensed REXX still offers a very 
good way to protect intellectual property.
