complie/hide csh script


I have a csh script that I do not want users to view/read permission on it. Is there any way I can make a binnary  a binary file of it or encrypt/black-box like it..

Of course chmod 700 gives only the owner and root permission to read/write/execute the file, but if this is not what you're looking for you can encrypt the file using the crypt command or install pgp.

Umm, I hate to sound ungrateful, but why did you give this answer a 'C' grade?  It's extremely complete and well thought out.  The fact that it doesn't solve your (narrowly defined) problem indicates that your problem may be insolveable.  Don't feel too bad, though, the record companies are still learning this lesson about bits being inherently copyable too.
