If you had described in more detail in your text what the program actually does, it would have been clear from the start.
Ah, thats the old "manual" problem. II thought I had! But I also wanted to keep it short and snappy, otherwise it wouldnt be read.
Finally, I didnt want to spend much time on something that I dont really believe in. The matter had been discussed on this forum, and so I assumed that those who are interested in this sort of thing would know what it was about.
Those who kicked up the biggest fuss about alternatives to Qliberated programs have shown no interest in any of the possible solutions. Obfuscater was part two of my reply..

The Configurable SuperToolkit II v2.06 is available on the QL Homepage.
But SuperToolkit II is TK3, not TK2. Configurable TK2 would be far more interesting.
Hi Peter,
Toolkit 3 was written by Ultrasoft, and later sold by Digitial Precision, an now is freeware.
Toolkit 3 is supposed to be an enchancement to Toolkit 2, but when I bought Toolkit 3, I did not like the it analysed the QDOS devices on initialisation.
But I disassembled Toolkit 3, made the Toolkit 3 initialisation simpler, it that it just added keywords to the QDOS/Minerva operating system
I must be one in a billion then, as I put REMarks in every programme I write even the boot file.
But I am just an ordinary user that has used the QL for nearly 40 years.
I maybe one that talks about Qliberator alternatives, nameley, Turbo, but I use both compilers.
I just want the Q60 to run Qliberator compiled programmes with the Cache on, which means to my limited programming ability, is to alter the Qliberator compiler. Which I will have to get my programming books out again and try and understand the programming of the Qliberaotr compiler.
But getting back on topic, I read the manual and I am not sure about the concept of obfuscater. Is not the idea to make every simplier or do I not understand as Obfuscation is the obscuring of the intended meaning of communication by making the message difficult to understand, usually with confusing and ambiguous language.

I'd be happy to explain why and how this is the case, but I'll put that in a new thread; it doesn't really belong here.
