I am using VAX LISP V2.1 on a DEC VAX 8530. The manual says that an executable image can be created, by using the function 'define-lisp-system'. This function is supposedly in the package VAX-LISP. When I tried it, I was informed that it is an undefined function. I did try use-package etc. I realise that it is probably only my stupidity, as I am still learning the language, but I would appreciate help on this. Thanks. -Peter - Peter O'Gorman, Maths dept, University of Limerick, Ireland. E-Mail : OGORMANP@UL.IE

I'm not sure if Vaxlisp 2.1 supports standalone executable images; the first
version I can remember that did was 2.2 Since the current release is 3.0a,
you may want to upgrade. (The new system has many other advantages as well.)
Here's a sample define-lisp-system:
(define-lisp-system "junker"
:exclude '(:editor
:compiler
:uis
)
:requires-license nil
:input-files '("test-junk")
:main 'countdown)
Test-junk.lsp has a single function COUNTDOWN which runs from 10 to 1.
But I suspect your big problem is an obsolete version of LISP.
