# COMMON
Advances some ideas using Steve Wozniak's 6502 SWEET16 interpreted byte-code language as inspiration. While the goal of SWEET16 was brevity, the goal of COMMON is functionality. The intent is to make a platform suitable for many commercial, scientific, and engineering applications.

Why 6502 and not, for example, x86?
* 6502 assembler is very easy and has a large archive of existing functions
* existing 6502 SWEET16 does the "hard work"
* existing 6502 SWEET16 already has the “hard work” done
* interesting to see it run in newer versions of 6502 processors
* how do you think Bender does what he does? (or the Terminator!)

Right now, for testing purposes, the code builds everything into one file `system.obj` and runs the code in the last block loaded, in this case, the code corresponding to `page6.src`. Eventually will support decoupling of system and application files. Application files will be inherently relocatable.
