Step Five: The wizard will then ask you to provide the
files you want to include, i.e. lsp dcl and etc. The author of this tutorial has only
experimented with adding a single .lsp file as shown in figure 4.

Step Six: When you click next it will tell you that
everything is ready to build the application.

checked on!!!

The wizard compiles your project and creates three different
files. The one you want to distribute
will be the .fas file. The .fas file is precompiled into machine code, it can be viewed in any text editor but all the user
will see is a garbled mess as shown in Figure 6.
