Hi Bob,

I have been thinking about this. A collaborative effort could return a
faster result, in my opinion.

I can put together a quick routine that will load and pack under level 2.
My understanding is that you can load level 2 source into MW Basic and it
will load and run. I have never tested this. If it is true, then decoding
OSK Basic I-Code will be easier. I will provide a copy of the source. You
pack it, then dump the I-Code module to a text file and send it to me.
Comparisons with the L2 version will tell us much.

If you are interested, we can start soon. I will write the code and email
it to you.
