JavaScript Scrambler V1.11
for Windows 95/NT

iNTRODUCTiON

JavaScript Scrambler is a utility for all JavaScript programmers who
are fed up with the fact, that their source code can be stolen and 
simply modified. Any script source code will be scrambled until it is
almost impossible to comprehend for others.

FEATURES

JavaScript Scrambler V1.11 will
- remove any carriage returns and line feeds from the source code,
  so the whole script code is placed in one line
- remove any unnecessary whitespaces
- remove any comments
- remove any tabs (ASCii 9)
- scramble up to 100 function names (e.g. 'x48292' instead of 'Ticker')
- minimize the size of the script code and by that
- speed up script processing
- process HTML-files sized up to 60000 bytes (in registered version)
- leave any non-script-code as it was before
- scramble scripts in batch mode via command line

iNSTALLATiON

Installation is easy. As you have obviously been able to unzip this
archive it is now your task to put the executable in its own directory,
create an icon for it and start it.
You will find a sample script enclosed named 'Ticker.htm'. Please feel
encouraged to use it to test this software.
Anything else is pretty self-explanatory i think.

iNSTRUCTiONS/TiPS

- JavaScript Scrambler will only work correctly if its input is 
  correctly coded JavaScript source code! I.e. semicola must NOT be
  omitted although JavaScript interpreters allow it in some cases.
- If you want to scramble function names, please give your functions
  names, that do not appear with another meaning inside the same file
  again. Otherwise this text will be scrambled too.
  In addition please regard that every function name has to be at least
  two characters long (this will be no problem i think).
- Command line usage:
  jsscram [/c] [/s] [/t] [/f] [source] [destination]
  Options:	
  /c: Remove CR, LF and comments
  /s: Remove unnecessary whitespaces
  /t: Remove tabs
  /f: Scramble function names
  The last two command line parameters have to be the source and
  destination filenames. If no option is specified, the source file
  will be scrambled with all four options enabled.
  Wildcards ('*.*' or '?') are not supported.
  
  Examples:
  jsscram ticker.htm tickerscrambled.htm
  This will scramble ticker.htm to tickerscrambled.htm with all four
  options enabled.

  jsscram /c /s ticker.htm tickerscrambled.htm
  This will scramble ticker.htm to tickerscrambled.htm removing all
  CR, LF and comments and all unnecessary whitespaces.
