I was intrigued by Larry's message that said:

I'm starting out doing some VB6 programming and am curious about what kind
of protection exe files have. I'm wondering if making EXE applications under
the VB6 platform offers any kind of protection from hacking or
disassembling? Are there other (inexpensive) techniques that you refer to
that programmers use to protect their works? If so, what might those be?

Thanks,
