The new release of Harlequin's LispWorks 4.0 might be the closest you
can get to. (http://www.harlequin.com/full/products/sp/lww4.html)
It can produce stand-alone Windows apps that you can freely distribute
without having to pay any royality fees.


Here is a quote from comp.lang.lisp about .EXE sizes:


>Hello world (text) 2.9 MB
>Hello world (popup window) 3.6 MB
>Othello (windowed application) 4.2 MB
>These are .EXE sizes, generated on Windows 95.


Hope that helps,
Bernhard
