Do you really nead a
compilation, i.e., are you going to run the thing, or do you just need to save information? You said "text won't do", OK, but you can somehow encode your information. Here is a simple encoding scheme: Add 15 to the ASCII value of the first byte, 43 to the second, and 5 to the third. Repeat for every group of 3 bytes. You can use a longer sequence, and different values, of course - these values are quite arbitrary.
(I have no idea how secure this system would be.)
