Barrie, You're going to have a little trouble with this, as I'm sure you can see from the previous email. Another possibility, if you know C, is to learn Inline::C (not that hard) and compile the bits of C code and distribute those with your application. People will still see your source, but it's then dependant upon compiled portions which would make it a bit tougher for people to steal. Of course, that also means you're going to have a more difficult time making it cross-platform compatible.
