Pretty cool.

So what's a convenient command line way to get from an ascii basic
listing to a prg inside a d64 image? After some looking I used tok64 and
c1541.

Second place was bastext to t64 and then to d64 via c1541 but I was
weirded out since it seems the only binary output bastext is willing to
do is a t64 file. And while c1541 should handle those, it didn't in this
case.
