Does anyone know of a program that can convert Btokenised BASIC files into readable text on the PC? If not, does anyone know how to convert the BASIC tokens back into text? |

There's a program called Bas2Txt which does this (there's a copy on the AcornSearch filebase or I can email you one). This usefully has the source included (in C), so you can derive the full list of tokens and their textual equivalent by looking at this. I've written bits and pieces in BASIC which convert text to tokens, etc, so feel free to email me if you like. |

Couldn't you just load the BASIC into StrongED (okay, or Zap) and then change to text mode and save the resulting text out? If you don't have an Acorn machine nearby to do this on, why not emulate... |

You could use the PC version of Brandy <http://brandy.riscos.org.uk/> as this can read tokenised BASIC files but always saves as plain text. |
