binary versions of functions

[Brian Blais]

Hello,

I have only recently been introduced to octave, and really like it so 
far.  Most of my experience comes from Matlab, but I have used Scilab 
for about a year.  I was wondering if the following thing is possible in 
octave.  Sometimes, during my teaching, I like to give students code 
that works, but is only runnable, not readable.  In Matlab you can make 
p-files, and in scilab you can save functions as .bin files, and load 
them later.  In each of these cases the students can load and run the 
code, but can't see the source.  Is there such a thing in octave?  If 
not, can anyone think of some way I could distribute working code, but 
not have the source readable?

thanks for the help,

                Brian Blais
