Well, then I guess that we can't obfuscate the code with Ruby. It's not a necessity. It's just that I'm used to compiled languages in wich, if the project isn't that complex, you basically give one file to the user. <troll> If I really need this kind of feature I guess I could develop a library in C that would encrypt all my '.rb' files into another file and decode them when launching the application... or something like that. </troll> Thanks for your answers. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/.
