Did there used to be an application to compress a BASIC file beyond recognition? It isn't the CRUNCH command is it?

Yes, there was at least one application to obfuscate/compress BASIC files. I've got no idea what it was called, but it definitely does more than CRUNCH (e.g. it gave all the functions and variables shorter names).

BasCompress by Cy Brooker was good. I used it lots.

There was also BasCrunch IIRC, think it was published on a RiscUser disc.
