Thanks.
I see that. And I see two paragraphs below:
Note: The CONDENSE option can also be used to make a program
unreadable if the source lines were included in the compiled
program using the SLINE option.
These seem slightly contradictory, unless one assumes the
weak meaning of "unreadable", i.e. "to the naked eye".
If the uncondensed copy with the source lines exists in storage,
it would seem easy enough to cause an interruption, take a dump,
and decipher it; little IP protection to a determined pirate.

Thanks; How'd you find this link? I can follow it easily enough,
but it doesn't turn up in any shelf indexes on publibz that I
tried.
