John,

   This is the format that the EXECUTIONER program uses; formerly,
TE (THE EXECUTIVE) would end an EXEC file with BSAVE blah blah blah
and that would be it; I don't know why this new program has
lines after the BSAVE, maybe one of the techies could explain it,
but it seems to me that it may have something to do with the
packing part of the program (4 bit (HEX) or 6 bit packing) and
those lines probably tell ProDOS whthe packing info.  Someone
correct me if I'm wrong, please.
