Peter,
In VFP7 I did that with keeping a zipped (or encrypted) copy of source, unzip and execscript() (in older versions codeblock.prg). But I got my lesson not to do that with some code that has calls to other things like a 'do form', 'do something' in it.

BTW what's wrong with the 'copy' ? Execscript() does that behind the scenes.
