Trying to distribute code that is usable but cannot be copied or altered

Hi. I have written several different specific, likely proprietary programs that I need to distribute to my team. I'd like for them to be able to run the program, provide input data, and get output data, but I'd like to protect the code from being altered or copied. Is there a way? I have attached a picture showing an example of the simple functions and programs that need to be parsed or compiled into one tidy package.
Thanks...I bet it's too easy!!!!

Gary - there is no attached picture. You can look into pcode which creates a protected file and obfuscates the code in your m-file. It may do what you want.

pcode is a simple & straightforward answer.
compiling your matlab into an exe might be more sensible if it's in a suitable format.
telling them off for editing the code might be more appropriate.
I believe the pcode version requires the end users to have bought the full blown MATLAB while the standalone executable does not and can be distributed free.

If you have the MATLAB compiler, you can create a standalone executable.

How do I know if I have this compiler? I am on a corporate users license with very little detail of what we actually have.
Thanks!
type in the following to select the available compilers in your Matlab
mex -setup
