|   The entire program is nothing but a sad joke.  I doubt it will be very
|   difficult to decompile such a binary at all.  Well, it might be a
|   little more ``secure'' on HP/UX than on FreeBSD: just to prove that my
|   feeling was right, i've ktrace'd the compiled script, and of course, i
|   get the entire original shell script in full beauty in the dump
|   output. :-)  (HP/UX doesn't have the equivalent of truss.)

Not as a standard, supported part of HP-UX. But it's certainly available.
Look for 'trace-1.6' with your nearest search engine.
