A point I want to establish is that - reference the compiler - no matter how it is done and no matter what langauges are used to complete it all of these languages use 'ASCII' as their encryption domain - if I can then somehow access the compiler sourcecode I can customise a unique compiler for my own exclusive use by encrypting a private version that I can ahare with another entity having made a secure delivery to that person of the modified compiler.

Do you know how to access the compiler sourcecode?
