Is the basic file in tokenized format or in plaintext? If plaintext, it
_must_ be tokenized before loading to a c64. It wont understand
plaintext listings.

Easy way to check: load the file into hexeditor. The first two bytes
must be 01 08.

If the bytes are something else, then the file is not a c64 basic
listing. If you can see the listing using a text editor, then the format
is not tokenized. You need to tokenize the listing then first.
