Re: compiling a Lisp source to exe

Okay. Suppose I write a script (in X language) and place it on a
network share. I then tell them to copy the script to their machine
and run it. I'm not interested in spending time trying to bring a data
entry clerk up to speed in running a script. One of the nice things
about Visual Studio is that you can generate an exe file that will
just run.

(Should I use VB rather than Lisp?)

If you can't come up with an acceptable (to you) way to distribute
Lisp programs, probably. As sympathetic as I am to the desire to write
everything in Lisp, short scripts are probably not an area where Lisp
would buy you more than warm fuzzies.
