As others have told me, the cexec operator (implemented on at least some Apple Laserwriters) downloads 68000 code to the printer.  The first 16 bytes of the data downloaded by cexec is not 68000 code, but contain information needed to execute the code that follows correctly.  Question:  what exactly goes into those 16 bytes?  What else, if anything, do I need to know in order to use cexec?  Thank you in advance.
