Per my previous post, it is somehow protected via the compiler. Surely the program is not compiled each time it is run like ancient BASIC.
It may be coming into view now, then again, I know just enough to be dangerous. Am I close below:
Their source code runs on multiple Platforms, each platform has to have the object code compiled for its own O/S and specific Hardware.
The compiler is tied to the HD. If I ever have to change HD's the compiler will not compile, so I can never update the program (unless I do it with Assembly language).
If I moved the already compiled code to a new HD and nothing else changed, then it may still run.
If I am way off base above, let me know and I will head another direction, just recalling and trying to relate it to what I remember from old DOS days and compiling Code for mainframe programs.
