Can comments be viewed in a compiled LISP routine, like they can in VB?
I though removing all the comments in CPP and VB compiles helps defeat crackers.

Most compilers ignore comments, i.e. they don't make it to the binaries. Encrypting all strings used in a program is a technique often employed to thwart hackers / snoopers.

Yeah, MP's right The compiler is told to ignore all lines that begin with a perdetermined symbol -i.e. ( ";" "/" " ' " "#"...)

The VLX hacker ive tried let me get the strings out of the program. ...But it was real crappy.

As far as that "Real coders" comment ....BAWAHAHAHA, Yeah, I can tell your a real good programer.

I once wrote a lisp that would encrypt and decrypt lisp code.  Worked great  but I know longer have a need for it.  Sorry,  but an copy of the code is unavailable, its has been lost on one of my many 5-1/4" backup disks and who has one of those drives in their computer anymore.  :(
   If you really want security in your job, only distribute and allow access to the compiled lisps. It takes a real code genius to decompile computer language.  Working with assembly is a B!@#h. Keep your original source code in area only you have access too and lock it in a password protected zip/rar file.

I use comments in my code for several reasons. like; previous versions, Notes, testers, Rants, Ideas, answers, etc. The comment is important for so many reasons and if you cant see that then you should just quit writing it cause you will never be any GOOD! Plain as that! I dont care if your Bjorne S... comments are necesary.

If you think that No comments, or garbage variable names, etc  in your code will ensure you job security then you need to get a frickin' clue!  ...No, wait I got an idea! Do good work! Hows that for an idea?

OBTW, If your looking for simple encrypters then go get one. There are several very good free ones out there.

My Rants are just that; Rants!

The idea is not even applicable considering that for many years now block commenting is available:
Quote
;| blah
blah blah blah
Blah blaH |;

How would it behave?

Serge, in that case there would be many a line of code that would simply fail to work because the second line after block quoting would be treated as a line of code and as such would likely crash the program miserably...
