How to Load the Compiled Executive

In an heterogeneous architecture, there are different compilation chains, with different executable formats, which have to be transfered through different types of intermediate media and processors, to be finally loaded by different boot loaders. For these reasons, a postprocessor is required for each type of operator, in order to encapsulate this heterogeneity into a common download format. This is explained in more details in the Downloader Specification (cf. chapter 11).
