Code Module Encryption

There are times when a software project is completed that the software developer would like to preserve his algorithms from others. Is it possible to password / encrypt a basic "code module" so others cannot view and modify its contents?
:D :D :D

Perhaps you can compile the code and reference it in as a precompiled include?

That capability is on the "to do" list but is not currently supported. There is some additional infrastructure needed in the "object file" to facilitate relocation and link-time fixups. These are well-understood concepts that have been in use for many years.

I have bumped this topic because from today onwards there is a ZBasic solution to this problem. In fact there are three solutions. Take your pick from ZX-128e, ZX-1281, and ZX-1281e. All of these devices store a Zbasic program in locked flash memory which cannot be read.
