According to DPB specs, the DPB compiler produces 100% machine code. Does that mean that someone couldn't hack the .exe and discover the code (without a complicated reverse engineer process?)

In life try hard. Success does not come easy.

That's about right, yes, but it's not impossible.

I just want to make sure that the actual code isn't stored in the .exe. I suspect that this was the case in DBC.

With all things in life - try hard. Success does not come with meeting the minimum requirements.

DBC was interpreted - DBPro isn't.


Mirrors are more fun than television. Well, that was fun, in a not-so-fun sort of way...

DBC actually compiles to byte-code and uses a virtual machine
