To be clear, I often write code for people who suffer FUD when it comes to the unknown, and, very often, Lisp and Scheme are the unknown. This isn't a problem if I tell the client "here is the code for the executable, and here is the configuration files". Of course, the configuration files (Guile) will be doing most of the work. I can't hide ACL, CLISP, or CMUCL like that. -Dave -- David Tillman | Sparrow Information Systems | Contract C, C++, and dtillman@sparrowsys.com | www.sparrowsys.com | PERL code for UNIX.
