Is there a method for "unprotecting" Microsoft BASIC code (16-bit) which
has been saved with the "p" flag?  I know that MBASIC (8-bit) uses a
simple one byte header change but the 16-bit BASIC encodes the entire
file.  I am aware of several commercial packages available to do the
decoding, but i though there MUST be something in the public domain with
all those "blue" and clone machines.
