Well as I said, read the fine manuals.

As always very good advice, and as often happens, not done until
someone says RTFM. Okay, I did (and as a matter of fact had previously
printed the CMUCL manual).

I spent more than an hour last night trying to make it work, learned a
few things, but was unable to accomplish the task I set out. I just
need to get more familiar with these tools. I'm satisfied that this
can be done, and maybe in six months or so I will focus and getting it
done.



For CLISP for example:

 http://clisp.cons.org/impnotes/image.html

  see the :executable option to the function
  EXT:SAVEINITMEM .

CMUCL:

 http://common-lisp.net/project/cmucl/doc/cmu-user/extensions.html#toc47

  See the :executable option to the function extensions:save-lisp .

My three competencies are Perl, Java, and C++. In the case of Perl,
all the machines I am responsible for have Perl. Ditto Java for the
JRE. As to C++, the compilers generate exe files directly.

I would like to achieve some competency in Lisp but Lisps do not
typically get installed on machines and do not have a 'LRE' (or do
they?) Therefore, the only easy way I can think of to run a script
written in Lisp is to compile and distribute it as an exe.

Thanks for your help, CC.

Most Linux distribution come with Clisp and ECL either installed by
default or available through the package manager.
You can download and install them on Windows too.
