I have some applications I have to write for my use.
I was wondering if it is permitted to use the free version
of ACL to do it with.
If not I'll go some other way ( Cincom if I'm adventurous,
or I'll just stick with BCB if I'm not ).

Here's a quotation from ACL 6.1 documentation [1]:

"Note that generate-application and generate-executable are
only available in Enterprise versions of Allegro CL."

I believe this means that Trial versions of ACL are not capable of doing
what you want, so I guess you will have to use some other development
software.

Good Luck!

P.S. Even though Smalltalk is not Lisp, it's still a better solution than
BCB, in my opinion :-)

It seems really weird to me that if you can't deploy your applications
with ACL, you'd rather switch languages than implementations. I think
you can do what you want with Lispworks or Corman on Windows, or LW,
CMUCL, or CLISP on Unix. Not that there's anything wrong with
Smalltalk, it's just a bit of a drastic step.

Can one switch languages rather than implementations?

In any case, why compound your problems by abandoning the existing
code *and* the existing implementation?

Lispworks for Windows will do that, but not int the non-commercial version.
I don't know about Corman, though.

The code doesn't exist yet. That's why I ask to be sure I can do it
*before* I write the code.

For Windows platforms, you can save applications with the free personal
version of Corman Lisp 1.5.
See the samples provided, and the product documentation for details
