Hello All,

Best Regards

1. Look at the code for The International Obfuscated C Code Contest for inspiration!
2. See this article: http://www.chameleon-systems.com/Ch.../PerlTip01.html for obfuscation tips. This is for perl and has a few perl tools, but you could easily use them for C.

Hope this helps!

If you don't want it read, don't release it.

Send a message via AIM to pschmerg
i would suggest overloading the period/dot (.) operator. that always makes things quite difficult.

Why would you want to make the code hard to read?
