Nope. It has to be in tokenized form. As mentioned by several others.
Just changing the file type won't work, because the data is in the
wrong format to be executed by Commodore BASIC.  I recently needed to
turn a Merlin program (text file) into a PAL program (which is stored
as a tokenized BASIC program). Took about 15 minutes to whip up a
quick conversion program, using the old
print-it-to-screen-and-stuff-nls-into-keyboard-buffer trick. Wish I
had it handy, but I'm at school now, and it's at home...
