Hi, I have to deliver an IDL program to a client. The easy way is to generate a .sav file and giving it to him. The problem is that with the RESTORE procedure, my client can see my whole program and then modify it or reuse it. Is there a way of transmitting an IDL program to someone without him being able to use the RESTORE procedure but him being able to use it with the right IDL command ? Thanks

I just realized that my question has absolutely no sense. I haven't produce a .sav file for a long time and I was sure that, back in the past, when you were doing a restore on a .sav file, you could read the whole code. I just did a test with IDL 8.2 and that is not the case. Was it like that before and the restore procedure changed or did I dream all that ?

Hi, As far as I know, the RESTORE command has never exposed the source code of a compiled application save file. Best regards, Jim Harris
