  Is there some way on a C64 to convert a text file to a loadable BASIC
file.  Two examples of why I need to do this are:
  - I have a "listing" on diskette, but not the executable
  - I want one BASIC program to write another BASIC program
I readily admit ignorance about the C64, but can't find anything in the
documentation about how to do what i want.

Thanks

p.s.
I want to do this for a class I am teaching to Jr & Sr High School kids
about programming.
