Yes, this is correct. Since the cexec operator no longer exists,
putting it in your file will cause an "undefined" error.

There is no longer a way to do this. This is not just a Level 2
problem, but a controller problem. You could not expect the same
code to work on, say, a Laserwriter IIg, with a 68030, and a
Laserwriter NTR, with an AMD 29000.

Adobe has not abandoned Lasertalk. There was an unfortunate hiatus.
The November issue of the Adobe Developer's Association News describes
our ongoing work towards a new release. The only feature disabled by
lack of cexec is the ability to preview your PostScript file from the
printer. The update will include bug fixes, System 7 compatibility for
the Mac version, and on-line documentation upgrade to Level 2.
