Yes.  From the thread, it's a recreation page in the style of Creative

The code looks legit.  The "MODE 0" indicates it's GW BASIC, but
outside of that one instruction, the rest is generic BASIC with
Microsoft-style substrings.  The listing _is_ cut off, but the missing
part is just the remaining couple thousand 5-letter words.

Here's one for the PET 4032 or 8032 (requires BASIC 4.0 I think - I
haven't dug into it to check)
