if your main goal is to hide the source code, you can "save" a compiled
IDL binary that others can restore and run. All they get is the binary,
so your source code is effectively hidden.

Assuming you have an IDL procedure called my_prog.pro, you would do
the following to save the binary:

IDL> .r my_prog.pro
IDL> resolve_all
IDL> save,/routines,filename='my_prog.sav'

to run your code, another user would type:

IDL> restore,filename='my_prog.sav'
IDL> my_prog
