Most of these won't work, though...unless, of course, you've managed to somehow
find or reverse-engineer a copy of CLULESS V1.0, which, I must warn you, is 
insanely dangerous...

(Besides, I can't think of any way you could've done it.  I can't tell you 
why not without giving a MAJOR Crossroads: UF4 spoiler, so just trust me for
now, and it'll all make sense later...)

Well, as noted above, the point is academic, but for the sake of technical 
argument...

I wasn't aware that demons aren't living, but either way, they _are_ animate 
and self-determining, so, in CLULESS 1.0, the -i flag would have to be 
eliminated for them to compile correctly.  The same goes for self-aware 
mechanicals (androids like ST:TNG's Data and 800-series Terminators, for 
example).  AI's, on the other hand, are considered part of the fixed computer
system, and so can be generated with the -i flag.  (AI's can be generated using
CLULESS V2.3 as well.

Oh, another thing I noticed was that a VMS version of CLULESS seems to exist.
I wasn't aware of that either, although knowing CLULESS's inventor, I'm not
really surprised.  It's likely that the VMS copy you have is an unpatched 
copy of V1.0; for your own safety, please, please delete it at once.  Do not
attempt to rez up animate, self-determining individuals.  Please.  It's not a
Good Thing(tm).  Again, I can't explain this without giving enormous Crossroads
spoilers, so please, just trust me.
