Stream/Pipe code into Fortran compiler?

I have an application which requires encryption... My program generates Fortran code, then calls the Fortran compiler (via nmake), links to other libraries I have written, generates an executable, then runs the executable (and communicates with it over a TCP socket).

The weak point is that the Fortran code is visible before its get compiled.

Is it possible to stream or pipe code into the Fortran compiler (so that it never has to reside as a file on a hard drive)?

If so I would get my program to pipe the code to the compiler, and it would dump out a binary.

Any ideas? Thanks!

Sorry - our compilers don't support that today. I'll enter a feature request on your behalf. Maybe some sort of "RAM disk" which can be created on the fly (I think)? The source will be in the compiler's memory and thus the pagefile at some point.
