I'm not sure if Vaxlisp 2.1 supports  standalone executable images; the first
version I can remember that did was 2.2  Since the current release is 3.0a, 
you may want to upgrade. (The new system has many other advantages as well.)

Here's a sample define-lisp-system:

(define-lisp-system "junker"
  :exclude '(:editor
              :compiler
              :uis
              )
  :requires-license nil
  :input-files '("test-junk")
  :main 'countdown)

Test-junk.lsp has a single function COUNTDOWN which runs from 10 to 1.

But I suspect your big problem is an obsolete version of LISP.
