Need listing from ancient PC-DOS BASIC program

[jdseymour]

I am trying to get listings from some old (1985) BASIC programs written on a PC-DOS system.

The files themselves are not text format.

Here's one example:

Code: Select all

000000: FF 30 10 0A 00 AD 20 41 | EA 57 3A B9 20 FE 94 00 ".0...- AjW:9 ~.."
000010: 4A 10 14 00 97 20 D1 52 | 41 4E 44 28 41 29 E7 FF "J.... QRAND(A)g."
000020: 85 28 FF 88 EB 41 29 E9 | 12 00 94 10 1E 00 B8 20 ".(..kA)i......8 "
000030: 42 41 53 45 20 31 3A 86 | 20 46 43 48 4F 49 43 45 "BASE 1:. FCHOICE"
000040: 24 28 0F 0A 29 2C 46 46 | 49 4C 45 24 28 0F 0A 29 "$(..),FFILE$(..)"
000050: 2C 4B 43 48 4F 49 43 45 | 24 28 0F 28 29 2C 4B 46 ",KCHOICE$(.(),KF"
000060: 49 4C 45 53 24 28 0F 28 | 29 2C 4B 4C 49 4E 45 28 "ILES$(.(),KLINE("

0000D0: 24 28 41 29 2C 4B 46 49 | 4C 45 24 28 41 29 2C 4B "$(A),KFILE$(A),K"
0000E0: 4C 49 4E 45 24 28 41 29 | 3A 41 E7 41 E9 41 3A 4B "LINE$(A):AgAiA:K"
0000F0: 43 48 4F 49 43 45 24 28 | 41 29 E7 FF 81 28 4B 43 "CHOICE$(A)g..(KC"

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks!

In case anyone comes across this post, I found what I needed.
This file format is a "tokenized" format. Here's one page I found describing the file format: https://robhagemans.github.io/pcbasic/d ... ile-format
Still looking for a converter - but if I can't find one, I can write one easily enough...
