You may just rename j.exe to myprog.exe and place at minimum the
following files in the same folder
myprog.exe
j.dll
profile.ijs
where profile.ijs is your script.
just run j.exe(myprog.exe) from that directory to start.
Alternatively double click the myprog.exe or drag a shortcut of
myprog.exe to desktop.
This is what used to be in j504, in J6 it is slightly complicated in
that you should create a ./bin directory under the target folder and
put the above mentioned files there.
If you feel uncomfortable to let end users peeking the source code,
just apply lock script to the profile.ijs (do not rename it to
profile.ijl, must still name it as profile.ijs).
