Hi
I would like to extract a bas file and convert to a text file in order to edit
on a word processor or editor.
any suggestions?

You can use CPCdiskXP to extract the .bas file to Windows. From there, edit any way you see fit.

You'll probably want to save as ASCII first so that it can be loaded in a regular text editor.

If my memory is correct you need to do SAVE"filename",a

load"file.bas
save"file.bas",a

I have used a program called ManageDSK to create, read and save DSK files. It's quite old (2012) and will take a bit of getting used to as it has bunch of tools. Files can be extracted from the DSK as well. (previous posts have suggested to save the .bas files as ASCII)

I run on a Linux machine and this program runs just fine using Wine. (Windows layer application)

Hope this helps.
