Oh, that's pretty much what it does. It just detokenises the tokenised code ?
The other problem is if you store it in dual format you effectively halve the RAM, and there isn't that much of it unless you stick it in banked memory.
Understood about detokenizing the tokenized code. That's how v2 BASIC already handles it. Also understood about reducing the amount of RAM, just contemplating ways to give people more efficient BASIC (or some other interpreted language) that is comfortable for people who don't have the desire or mindset to go assembly. It could only work with the idea of multiple banks of RAM (or with very simple programs that don't require much space).
