@Spektre,
Many thanks for your suggestions. I have received some more code and been able to figure out a little more from your investigation.
Also at the start of file is some kind of header starting with:
// 16 bit: 0000 FFFF size 4000 0007 00 00C2 00C2
// 32 bit: 0000 FFFF size 4000 0007 00 000000C2 000000C2
Yes. Size is in fact ...

1 ! RE-STORE "VERIFY_6XE"
2 ! RE-SAVE "VERIFY_6XE.ascii"

(Not an Answer, but rather a way too long comment on the target)
The reason: I'm interested in running statistical measures against a large library of code to find the distribution of variable names, constants and so forth in an effort to improve a BASIC parser.
Using (very) old code to optimize a modern parser might be a less than good input - at least ...

Using "qbasic source archive" as a search turns up some potentially-useful links, including:
48 files found in Library "Basic/QBasic Programming"
Also includes files to do with PowerBasic. From a brief scan, the files seem to be more utility orientated (i.e. extending Quick/Power-basic) than pure source examples.
134 files found in Library "Basic And ...

There are a lot of vintage computer books (and magazines with type-in BASIC listings) for a variety of versions of BASIC on Archive.org which are available in a variety of formats including text. Search for BASIC books for any computers which had Microsoft BASIC in ROM. Here is the link to the text version of David Ahl's "More BASIC Computer Games" on ...

Probably the most modern BASIC available for the 6502 - though it requires a 65C02 - is Acorn's BBC BASIC IV as released for the BBC Master. It can be ported to other 65C02-based hardware by implementing a few of the MOS API entry points it relies on, and dummying out the rest; several people have done so for home-built SBCs. The standard version occupies ...
