Too funny, I expected as much ;) Seriously, I have certain customers who do not want to purchase a source code license but since Ruby source is required (no pun intended) to deliver a Ruby app., customers must receive the source (and converting to C is not generally an option.) I'm actually designing an obfuscator and will happily share it should a suitable alternative not already exist. (And I hope your code is not so unreadable as to be considered self-obfuscating, unless of course you planned on everything being written in Deutsch :) Ken.
