You can't. ABL compiles to p-code, not executables. To create a demo you need to package it with a copy of Progress and, of course, that will need to be licensed. You might be able to work out something with the eval license from PSDN, but that wouldn't be a simple CD to hand out. I would talk to your sales rep about some special package.

Perhaps, when you are new at Progress, you want to have a read through the documentation - it's available online. It may also be wise to invest in some Progress training. Surely you are not just jumping in to build an application (even a demo) in a language / database you have never used before or know nothing about? Given that you have somehow decided you are going to develop the demo in Progress, do you already have a development environment set up (if not, what did you base your decision on)?

That's pretty much what I did ... in 1985. I spent some time at the PSC booth at Comdex, saw the Varnet applications, got the Test Drive, found a client, and the next thing you know I was a partner.
To be fair to the OP, it is easy in the mound of documentation to miss the fact that ABL compiles to P-code.
