>ReFox will encrypt the EXE for you. ReFox can also be used to regenerate code from a VFP encrypted EXE. So you get 2 functions for the same price. I do not know if it will shrink the size. Whenever I encrypt, no zip utility can shrink it any further. I do not think products like InstallShield, etc., can shrink them either.

I think that the reFox encyption only prevents others with Refox from decompiling. If you have another decompiler, it can still work.
