I've never actually used it for anything, but Sweet-16 was a set of
subroutines in the ancient Integer Basic ROM of the Apple II.  Sweet 16 code
was an "ideal" 16 bit machine language that was interpreted by the firmware. 
It got squeezed out in the new Autostart ROMs.  There used to be single step &
trace, a mini-assembler and a floating point arithmetic package too.

I can't seem to find any documentation on it either.  Lost in time...perhaps
some Really Old hacker other there could clarify. :)
