I browsed the latest thread at Foxite. Thanks for looking into this.

My understanding is there are really only 2 ways to protect an app:

1. Compile to true machine code using a language such as C or C++ (unmanaged), preferably with an optimizing compiler

2. Don't release your .EXE at all - present its functionality via a Web service or some such, on a site you control

If the compiler you're talking about compiles the guts of your app to unmanaged C++, that sounds like an impressive technical achievement.
