    Sigh, here we go again.

    No. The current program in the BS2 is a 'tokenized'
    version of the PBasic source. IF you have a 'reader'
    program loaded into the BS2, it could 'read' itself
    and send the tokens back to the PC using the serial
    port cable.

    The result would be the tokens in the BS2 -- you would
    still have to convert the tokens back to PBasic code --
    which nobody has done yet.

    And if you don't have a 'reader' program in the BS2,
    downloading one would wipe out the existing program.
    If you de-soldered the eeprom, in theory you could
    read out the tokens -- but again, you'll need to
    convert them back to code.

    The end result is that it COULD be done, but the
    effort would cost too much to make it worth doing.
