I have an UNPRO.COM to unprotect a basic file saved with the ,P in the save command for CP/M. I have a friend who saved an MSDOS Basic program that way and now cannot list the program. Do you know where I can get an UNPROTECT program for MSDOS Basic? Jim

I had tried it on the Z-150, it did not work. One version that works is as follow: DEBUG -E100 ff,1a -N UNPROT.BAS -RCX 2 -W -Q It also works to recover program accidentally lost by issuing a NEW command.
