There were Basic+ decompilers that would produce normal basic+
programs as output. All your comments and formatting would be
lost. They usually had problems with strange items like implied
'until's, but usually did a good job.

I actually used a couple of versions. Very useful for those programs
where the source code was lost.

One version I used would notice if you tried to decompile itself,
and would output

        PRINT ''Type "?" for Help'
        PRINT "[]"; \ GET \ FIELD RECOUNT AS A$
        DECOMPILE A$
        END
