After reading your 5th way, I wanted to add a couple myself: 6) If the program is recorded on audio tape in English, one can hook up an analog-to-digital input and a microphone, then use an AI-based neural net for SPEECH RECOGNITION and convert this into the BASIC keywords (analogously to what you do with OCR in your 5th way). 7) If program is stored on the text area of a TV broadcast, then you need to get one of those circuits that decodes it for the hearing-impaired, and put your OCR-scanner to the output.... 8) If program is already stored in a .BA file, then if you have sufficient memory, you can store it in ASCII and delete the program; then you can use one of the simple methods already mentioned in your message.... ;)
