  21. I have experienced other comm programs in the past, most notably
  22. Procomm Plus, that will allow script files to be translated into a
  23. binary file. This presented two, if not other, benefits: security of
  24. the script code and faster execution.
  25.  
  26. I am interested to know if binary scripts are/will be a possibility
  27. for Kermit... I am curious mostly for the former capability of hiding
  28. the code.

  30. Thanks in advance for the comments.
