I never went very deep into coding on the 'Micro but can remember or work out a lot of the abbreviations they're using - (graphics) MO(DE), F(OR), C(OLOUR), etc. Replace colons with a newline to make it easier to read.
Byte tokens are new to me (well - I probably saw them in source code but didn't know what I was looking at) but with the lookup table seems it'd be fairly easy to do a manual minifying step.
I should get mine out of the attic and try typing some of these in! (Colour composite output might be a quick solder away: https://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2016-01-12-composite-video-for-bbc.htm https://www.classic-computers.org.nz/blog/2016-01-12-composi... )
edit: there's also a 'shrink/expand' tool in the editor :-)
