Message-ID: Date: 7 Apr 89 22:57:21 GMT References: <1568@husc6.harvard.edu> Organization: Class of '90, Carnegie Mellon, Pittsburgh, PA Lines: 27 In-Reply-To: <1568@husc6.harvard.edu> Sweet 16 has nothing to do with P-code. It is a sort-of-16-bit assembly language interpreter. The Sweet-16 language is pretty low level, giving the user 16 16-bit "registers" and a few instructions to manipulate them. It is fairly easy to intersperse 6502 code with Sweet-16 code, and vice versa. Sweet-16 was written way back in 1978 or so (by Wozniak, I think). It *might* be included in the 50-sector file "INTBASIC" on the DOS 3.3 System Master disk. (There are two verisons of INTBASIC. The 43-sector version contains the language Integer Basic. The 50-sector version contains Integer Basic plus some nifty utilities, including hi-res routines, chromatic-scale-based sound routines, and an assembly language program relocator. I can't recall if the Sweet-16 interpreter is included in the 50-sector version of INTBASIC or not.) Anyway, I know I have some info on Sweet 16 back at home. I'll look into it....
