Does anyone know how I can go about
writing a BASIC program out to tape
*from* a BASIC program (i.e., generate
the program with another program),
and then be able to *LOAD* the
generated program back and run it?

After examining the stuff stored on
a *SAVED* tape file, I've come to the
conclusion that the BASIC commands
(print, let, goto, etc.) are stored
as single word codes of some sort.
Does anyone know what this format is?

I'd appreciate any help any C64 hackers
out there could give me.  We're trying
to build a program that will generate
a BASIC program given some specifications.

Thanks.
