Can anyone recommend one that runs on FreeBSD? Thanks! Jopt does a pretty good job of obfuscating... and results in lighter-weight executables in the process.

Warning - it does make debugging more difficult. -- Antony T Curtis BSc Unix Analyst Programmer http://homepage.ntlworld.com/antony.t.curtis/
