I guess I'm a little surprised by that.  There was a thread in November
last year about this and some pretty enlightened experts on this list
indicated that the format of a standalone had changed within the last year
and it was no longer possible (OK, it's always possible!) to get at the
scripts within a standalone.  Maybe I misunderstood what was said in that
thread.

The recent change was related to how standalones are built. It used to be possible to extract the stack and open it in the IDE where an unprotected stack could be examined. The new method prevents that.

It is not possible to read the scripts in a passworded standalone by normal means. In a text editor everything is binary, and the standalone itself can't be opened in the IDE.

There is one way to see the scripts, but it requires tools most people don't have and a geek aptitude above the norm. And it can't be prevented in any app.
