This program is released as freeware by MCA

What can be done is that this program can strip out all comments, blank lines, and place ALL the commands on one single line.

If you have a small script then yes it is probably still understandable. However if you have any kind of real length to a script it is very hard to tell what or how things are done when you have a line with a 1,000 characters all on one line.

KiXtart is an interpreted language and as such can not be "compiled" The KiXtart engine reads all the lines and then interprets the commands to perform.

To my knowledge there is no way to "encrypt or compile" the code and still be useable.

Some have tried things like ARJ or LHX etc to encrypt and decrypt on the fly. Not sure how well these solutions have worked out for them though.

Try searching the board for Encrypt and ARJ, etc... You may find more information on this topic.
