Oh!  I see...sorry, no, it's my fault for not understanding the entire 
thread.  I did notice the comment about reverse-engineering compiled 
programs and didn't quite understand the relevance...now I see!

Guess I can't help you...  If performance isn't a problem, you can 
decrypt the source on-the-fly from some archive.  But ultimately, the 
method of decoding will have to be there in source somehow; or they can 
stop the process at any time and see the temporary files.  Seems a bit 
difficult; it's their computer and they have all the time in the world 
to do whatever reverse-engineering they want.

Good luck, though!

Ray
