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. Wolf Wiedemann RADC-MULTICS
