I guess my greatest goal in retrocomputing is to show what the C64 could have been if things were done differently. I try to tackle some of the technical problems that tend to get in the way of people accomplishing more.

I came up with two BASIC one-liners that can get a lost program back in pristine condition, from immediate mode. Here I explain my solution and get into some of the details of how BASIC works, including some handy tricks.
