If you only want to distribute your programs without source, then ooREXX has an utility called rexxc.
But this utility do not produces native executable for Windows (*.EXE) or for other plattform, this only produces a binary image, which you can run using ooREXX.

Example:
I can compile the program from your thread

http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1521691&page=1

to the binary image:

C:\Users\Roman\Work>rexxc elapsed_time.rex fib_times
Open Object Rexx Tokenizer Version3.1.2
Build date: Apr 20 2007
Copyright (c) IBM Corporation 1995, 2004.

All Rights Reserved.
This program and the accompanying materials

which accompanies this distribution.

Now I can copy the binary file (without source) to the other location and run it using REXX:

C:\Games>rexx fib_times
