Try this.  Load the program while in Applesoft on a Apple II.  Insert the
following code at some place beyond the end of your program, say line 10000:

 10000 ?chr$(4);"open alist"
 10010 ?chr$(4);"write alist"
 10020 list 1-9999
 10030 ?chr$(4);"close"

Then type GOTO 10000 to execute it.  I'm pretty sure the result will be an
ASCII listing of the program in text file ALIST.
