  Amazingly enough it's quite hard to find an *direct* documentation on
the format of a 'CODE' resource.  I've searched most of the popular
documentation and can't find anything.  So from looking with MPW's
dumpfile, dumpobj, and dumpcode commands it appears that the format of
a 'CODE' resource is just the raw 680x0 instructions that you want
executed, nothing more, nothing less.

  'CODE' resource #0 is of course the jump table.  The format of CODE(0) is
documented in the Segment Loader Chapter of Inside Mac, and there is a
Tech. Note that discusses some of the limitations of CODE(0).

  Hope this helps.
