No. Distributing self-decrypting executables is nothing but a bad
joke: Either the recipient is able to check the integrity (which means
he's got access to a real crypto tool and you could use this one from
the start), or he isn't, and he has to run a program which maybe has
been tampered with during transmission---oops.
