Yes, you can see your code inside an EXE that was 'packaged' by exerb
(just open it in any text editor).

I say packaged - since it's not really 'compilation'... compilation to
_me_ means that it is transformed into a different type of file...
it's really just packaged.

The reason I use Exerb is so that I can distribute my applications and
call them an 'EXE'. It puts users at rest, and simplifies issues of
installing runtimes, version control etc.
