How to read a protected .bas file which has "line buffer overflow"?

I have an old file which I'd like to read its code.

The file has no extension. Right click + open with notepad gives me something like that :

1 N¦öêS‚ `šØ¢¾Œ2 € € 3 ôI¿Õ^J‚ á

So I've renamed and put an extension to this file ".BAS"

I've tried to open it with PC-BASIC.

I've opened PC-BASIC + written " LOAD"NFTRANS.BAS" + Enter (NFTRANS was the original name of my file)

And then I get the following error :

Line buffer overflow

The idea was to open it and then save it this way :

SAVE"NFTRANS", A

to get rid of the protection and be able to read the code with Notepad.

So my problem is that I'm facing a Line Buffer Overflow error which doesn't allow me to save my file !

How to deal with the problem ?!

Thank you for your answers !
