http://hirudov.com presents the tool for converting region of memory in BASIC DATA statements called Assembler-BASIC. The original program is written in Assembler language, converted to BASIC using the tool. As shown in the example, it's relatively fast and can convert large blocks of memory. The program was used widely for converting software for magazine type-in forms. It lacks checksum test but it works nevertheless.

Download the tool, along with many other Oric programs from http://hirudov.com/oric/

Here is the original read me in English:

ASSEMBLER-BASIC

The program converts area of the memory to BASIC program, which
contains list of variables, entered with the DATA operator. The program
is written entirely in assembler and allocates addresses from #A800 to
#AB5F.
The format of the command is the following:
!M XXXX, YYYY, ZZ
where:
XXXX - start address of the area for conversion;
YYYY - end address of the area for conversion;
ZZ - number variables after the DATA operator.
All entered data is hexadecimal (without the # sign).
The program can be saved thus way:
CSAVE "ASSEMBLER-BASIC", A#A800, E#AB5F, AUTO
