Jim Farrior was a long-term friend of mine. As he was getting old, I asked him if he would send me the uncompiled GW BASIC for THE MILL, he told me he had already taken care of it. I think it was a man from Illinois. 

Jim died, no one came up with the source code, Jim's daughters looked in his records and none was found. 

So it seems to be lost, but it's an amazing program to do all it does in 640k of memory. 

I recommend everyone try it once, it teaches and sends American and International Morse.

One of the practice sessions is the messages from SOS PRINSENDAM including the 4 second autoalarm signal.

If the source code for that mil program is available I may be able to
convert it to yabasic and if it converts to yabasic I can make it
executable on linux and windows and anywhere else yabasic can be run.
