[racket] Create executable for "Pretty Big" legacy program

Ciao a tutti,

I have a program, written for the Pretty Big legacy language, and I'm 
trying to create an executable for it. I tried the menu option Racket -> 
Create Executable, which does indeed create an executable. However, the 
executable appears to be dependent on the (single) original source code 
file, without which the executable refuses to run. This kinda defeats 
the whole exercise!

So my question is: how to go from myprogram.ss to myprogram.exe, such 
that myprogram.exe does not need myprogram.ss to run?


BTW, yes I'm running the latest version of DrRacket (5.3.1), and I've 
also tried running raco distribute on the generated executable, but this 
only causes further problems.

Best regards,
Bas
