Hi, I had no problem with the tests I've done. I was also able to get into an unique mht file the cdf, a java script that checks if the player is installed, and an image that appears if it is not installed, and explains how to proceed (links to wolfram's download). To get a little closer to unreadable source code, each of these files (cdf, js, png) were transformed into base64 (using Mathematica itself), and only after, manually registered inside the mht file (lost some time trying to figure out how this works; if someone knows of a tool to edit this kind of files, and that manages the base64 option , I would greatly appreciate to know about it). I then sent the mht file to a couple of people that didn't had Mathematica or any player installed, and everything went as expected. I also thought of a way of placing inside the mht file, the cdf player itself, but I think that would violate the distribution license. I ended up very happy with the toy I made, but it is completely useless since it doesn't have strong encryption, neither a way of controlling access to it (signed computer id license, usb dongle, etc). And I can also say (or probably insist) that my colleagues, although they liked the sliders, and locators, they also saw it as a toy, and nothing more, since they could not get data into it, or save data from it, or better, interact with it from a different environment (the way I see it, there is absolutely no integration on this technology, and integration is or has been the way of the future...). I can send you an example when I get back to the office (can't send you my first trial because it has proprietary knowledge, and as you know, there's no strong encryption...). Regards, P. Fonseca
