> BYTE: Isn’t Sweet-16 still used in Apple DOS and ProDOS editor/assemblers?
> WOZNIAK: Yes, it’s used in EDASM , mostly in the editor portion. Randy Wigginton wrote EDASM. He’s worked here since before we even had a company. Lately he’s written the Macintosh word processor – MacWrite. He’s done a lot for the company. and he’s used Sweet-16 in several things he’s done.
At least some 6502 assemblers included Sweet-16 opcodes, so I suspect many assembler programs included Sweet-16 in the parts where speed wasn't as pressing (simply because it was easy to invoke).
