No. Classic DRM problem - the information (in this case, executable code) that you need to "use" the file (run the app) is also the same information necessary in order to "reverse engineer" the app. Of course, you can make it difficult to reverse engineer the code, but you can't make it impossible, without also preventing legitimate execution of the code as well. -- Lew Pitcher "In Skills, We Trust" PGP public key available upon request
