Save it as a text file by adding this line:
0?CHR$(4)"OPENPGM.BAS":?CHR$(4)"WRITEPGM.BAS":LIST1-:?CHR$(4)"CLOSE":END

And then transfer it to a PC any way ya wannu (via modem, null-modem,
ADT and EXTRACT/VIEWDISK, etc.), and open it with QBASIC.  Some
modifications will need to be made, but it's not too bad.  I even
spooged my world-famous (Sort of.  Kind of.  Not really.) encryption
program, PBP, to PC in this fashion.
