A point I want to establish is that - reference the compiler - no matter ho= w it is done and no matter what langauges are used to complete it all of th= ese languages use 'ASCII' as their encryption domain - if I can then someho= w access the compiler sourcecode I can customise a unique compiler for my o= wn exclusive use by encrypting a private version that I can ahare with anot= her entity having made a secure delivery to that person of the modified com= piler. Do you know how to access the compiler sourcecode? Thanks - AOB
