I incorectly guessed that the eexec's were encoded fonts - I was completely
wrong. When I decrypted the eexec's I discovered that the Mac prologue
uses eexec to send cexecs to the printer - and cexecs are 68000 code -
so skipping them was a good idea. Mac LaserWriter drivers seem to produce
the worst PS I have ever seen.
