It was a USCD Pascal program that went through the code for other interpreted languages and removed comments and dead code, back in the days when most interpreters (like BASIC) were still slowed down by comments, and the dirtbag predator sleaze were charging for software by the KLoC. There were at least six difference versions for four different languages. Three of them were for BASIC and I remember two of them did RS L2 and GW directly off the saved bytecode so you didn't have to save as ASCII to use it. At one point even had ads for it in BYTE and/or 80 Micro. (can't remember which)
I wrote an article on Medium about "what I've learned the past 40+ years programming" where I mentioned it because, well... I WROTE IT!
... and I now realize I've not seen a copy of it in well over two and a half decades, and have long since lost the source to it. Just feeling nostalgic.
Anyone remember it, use it? Still have a copy?
