If B9's UNIX BASIC is somewhat compatible and he promises not to laugh or 
criticize I can try to find the Tbasic source code.

      Not as far as I know. I think Robert Pigford's program is it. PowerBASIC 
is a compiler though so I guess its binaries would run under a Linux DOS

Makefile.

      You would need a tokenizer for each BASIC variant you want to support 
(M100/102, 8201A/8300, and maybe t200?)

      The ROM of each machine is of course already capable of doing it properly 
by definition via LOAD/CLOAD. So emulators effectively support tokenization as 
well. VirtualT is fully scriptable over telnet/socket.

      For myself I just use my laptop or emulator to created tokenized files.

      One note... there are valid, specially constructed BA  files that do not 
fully LIST, and are not convertible to ASCII BASIC text and back again, with 
high numbered lines and/or machine language embedded in it. To create such 
files goes beyond simple tokenization, but it may be useful and interesting to 
create advanced special BA binary file generators. Most such files require 
special measures to create.
