Re: Can I -- Convert M/L code to BASIC ?

Disassemblers have been around for years.. this is nothing impressive.

To answer the second part, about converting ML to Basic. Forget it.
One might compare it to spoken languages and say it should be like
converting English to German. But it isn't. Its like when people try
to stick their monitor into a serial port on their PC and say "Well, I
got this adapter, why can't I get a picture?" The reason is that the
signals are so inherintly different, there is just no way to do it.

The best you could hope for in an ML to Basic conversion is you would
wind up with a BASIC program that is nothing but a bunch of POKE and
PEEK statements with the occasional mathmatical operator. So it
still wouldn't make any more sense than the ML program, in fact, I
dare say it would be harder to read and understand than the ML (and
much slower!)
