There is a not so simple way. There is a program called ReadLisa that
was made back in 1984, so that Mac people could snarf the source off
the Lisa Suppliment disks that Apple shipped with the updates.

I know that The Boston Computer Society has it on one of the older disks.
Give them a call at 617-625-7080. I may have been a Basic program. (ewww)
