I remember a detokenizer for RSTS BASIC-PLUS that's not on that list. I think it was called a "decompiler" though. Seemed like magic at the time. Googling reveals "You may be remembering the BASIC PLUS decompiler under RSTS. RSTS BASIC PLUS was interpreted from "push-pop" code. The symbol table was available in the compiled file, and the correspondence between push-pop operations and BASIC PLUS source was very close, so you could get back very reasonable code." And our previous discussion of it a decade ago: https://marc.info/?l=classiccmp&m=121804804023540&w=2 - John
