Author tclpro wrapper

I installed tclpro 1.4 and was able to wrap my scripts with prowrap. I read
the user guide and it doesn't mention that whether the wrapper encrypts or
compiles the scripts before wrapping them. Does anybody know how easy it is
to "unwrap" a wrapped application?

Thanks,
BH

It's easy - it's just a zip file with another name. Rename it
to .zip and have a lookie-loo. Use the compiler (obfuscator)
to hide source data.

Thanks for the reply. I didn't know it's this easy. I'll try the compiler
then. How secure is the compiled code?

It is fairly secure, but note that TclPro 1.4 only supports up
to Tcl 8.3 (you can't compile 8.4 code).
