Take a look at Don Lancaster's "Ask the Guru" column, November 1988,
Computer Shopper. He defines his "snoop" command like this:
/snoop {1183615869 internaldict begin} def % activates superexec
And describes it like this:
"The snoop command will activate superexec for your use. For
instance, if a forall gives you an invalidaccess error, a
{forall} superexec often will not. The same trick will often
work for {get} superexec.
Calling snoop also does open up internal dict along with all
its many strange and wonderous denizens. Very handy. And most
interesting."
[He goes on to describe the "hidden" FlxProc command.]
Now, does anyone have the decryptor "floating about?" How about sharing?
