cexec is more or less specifc.  It exists in all Adobe implementations
for 68000 based laser printers that I am aware of.  There may be some
implementations that don't have it.  If it does not have a 68000 it won't
work.  Perhaps there is the equivalent for other CPU's though I have no
experience with them.  "You pays your money and You takes your chances" 8=}
with other companies' Postscript interpreters.
