To answer to some posts (thanks for them), the goal is quite basic : - I've a single external scilab function (.sci) that is called in scilab routine - this file has been placed in a specific directory, but under windows, I cannot allow execution and deny reading I do not really want to encrypt the file, just to deny the reading and to transform it into "black" box ... it's not a commercial issue ... I just want to protect my work from some years Paul

Does somebody has a trick ? (creating a binary file, include it in a C file, etc. ...I've don't know) Paul Dear Paul, No trick will be never possible. The user can always use fun2string to display the source code of any function that Scilab can execute after reading it from a .sci file. You cannot prevent Scilab for doing so. Scilab can be executed in a mode where it displays each line of code before executing it. The user can also modify Scilab source code to get Scilab display whatever Scilab is allow to read. If Scilab can execute it, Scilab can display it. This is completely unavoidable. Well, it's not completely true: what you say applies to macros, not to C (or Fortran) native functions (that is, compiled and linked). You can translate all your code to C and write the proper wrapper to use it like a native scilab function and compile it and then remove the sources. I think this should work but I don't know if it worths the effort.
