Description:

MakeApp2 converts a Basic program to a file of type Absolute (&ff8)
which can be run just like the original program.  The converted program
has a couple of advantags:
* It is a bit safer against unwanted copying and modification, because it
  isn't easily recognizable as a Basic program.  But, more importantly,
* It can be treated by compression programs such as Acorn's 'squeeze', or
!Crunch (by BASS). These make it much smaller, up to 50%.  You save disc
space and loading time, and the compression makes it fully incomprehensible.
(Note, however, that it makes no difference for the execution speed. To make
your program run faster, use a Basic cruncher.)
