No need for any of this.  Open up the program in basica.  Then type save “prog.bas”,a and you get an ascii version of the program saved to disk.

The original gwbasic source code that Microsoft released in 2020 is the assembly code from the 1983 version, and gwbasic and basica are said to be functionally identical, so although your mileage may vary, it just may work. Incidentally, gwbasic has already been built to run on FreeDOS, and therefore should also run on dosemu as well.
