If your question means "is there any way to view all the contents of a
run-only script," then the answer is no, as Paul Berkowitz wrote.
However, if your question means "is there any way to view at least some
of the contents of a run-only script," then the answer is yes. For
example, using the UNIX command "strings" on the file works to pull
passwords, etcetera out of run-only (binary) scripts.
Here is a description of the "strings" command: "[it] searches object
or binary files for sequences of four or more printable characters that
end with a newline or null." (quoted from McIntosh, Toperek & Stone
"Mac OS X In A Nutshell", page 718.)
Hope this helps!
