dott. Piergiorgio,
I've downloaded the above PDF, and tried a few pages with KADMOS and tesseract. It looks
me like tesseract does a better job on the PDF pages that are converted to TIF's.

$ pdftk amicroprocessori1094517862.pdf burst

convert the PDF pages to *.tif so they can be OCR'd

$ convert -density 400 pg_0014.pdf -background white -despeckle -depth 8 pg_0014.tif
$ tesseract pg_0014.tif p014 -psm 6

Have a look here.

If no one else works on it, I'll do a few pages each day this winter (November thru March 2022) as I can.

The e-basic source is already widely available on various cpm distributions.
It is also available on my github site as part of my intel80tools repository, specifically
https://github.com/ogdenpm/intel80tools/tree/master/cpmsrc/basice
The version there builds to recreate the distributed binary. There is also a document that notes the challenges of actually recreating the binary

The thesis was actually v1.2 of the compiler, the widely distributed one is v1.4. I don't expect there are many differences, the main one being the original compiled with the Fortran based PL/M 80 compiler, v1.4 uses the native ISIS compiler. If you
wanted to reconstruct the older version it should be relatively straight forward
