STSC used to have a way to package their interpreter with a workspace to
create
a single .exe file.

I agree with Björn that this would go a long way to making J more available
for
distribution to others.  All sorts of other languages allow you to hand off
a
single executable.  Visual Basic, however, does (or used to) require a DLL
that people eventually got accustomed to dealing with.

Conceptually, there ought to be a way to do this but I don't see how without
being able to compile J differently, leaving a hook to put a script on the
end
of the executable (and having the DLL as part of the package).

In the Python world, there are a few options to make exe files. One of
the most popular is py2exe.
