This feature is provided mainly for script writers who need to protect their intellectual property, and for system managers who want to ensure that their users can't change the scripts. How it works Open a script that you want to protect and choose Remove Source Code from the Script menu. It's best to experiment on a copy of the script, once the source code is removed it can't be brought back. Details Scripts are compiled into an intermediate code executed by the UserTalk interpreter, commonly referred to as P-code. Frontier or Frontier Runtime must be present to run scripts.
Compiled scripts are smaller than scripts stored in source code.
They take up less memory, so if you are memory-constrained, it may also make sense to use compiled scripts. A new verb has been added to the UserTalk language, script.removeSource, allowing you to write your own scripts to compile and export entire tables of scripts. See samples.basicStuff.removingSource for an example script. The Remove Source Code command works equally well for UserTalk scripts and AppleScript scripts. Internet service provided by Conxion .
