About Building Applications (Visual LISP IDE)

You can compile your program files and create a single application (VLX) file that can be distributed to users and used to protect your code.

Note: The Visual LISP IDE is available on Windows only.

A VLX file can contain any number of AutoLISP source (LSP) and Dialog Control Language (DCL) files. When you want to build an application, you need to consider:

• Basic knowledge of the Visual LISP compiler
• Single and multiple document environments
• Program files have already been debugged
• Namespaces/execution context
• Loading and running application files
