No, this is not true locally on a system. At least under Linux and probably under all existing Unices, just give execute permission without read permission on a binary, and it will happily run for you, without being inspectable. So in this matter, the constructor is not a loss of freedom in any way. It's just a cleaner way of enforcing this kind of system policy. > We _could_ implement some new protections for people who make > proprietary software.

You're late, they already know it's possible, because it *is* possible in other systems... Correctively, Nowhere man -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A
