      NAME
           monfix - a monitor maker

      SYNOPSIS
           monfix [ options ] file

      DESCRIPTION
           Monfix modifies the first 16 bytes of the text segment of  file  for
           an NS16032-based board.  File must contain an a.out format program.

           Monfix makes the first text byte the entry point since  any  NS16032
           board  bootstrap  program  requires  that the first text byte be the
           entry point.

           Monfix adds three instructions to the file:  load  module  register,
           load  static base register, and branch to the real entry point.  The
           values for these three addresses are computed from the a.out header.
           The default load address is zero.  Instructions generated and start-
           ing addresses are:

                   address       instruction

                      0    lprw mod,modvalue
                      4    lprd sb,sbvalue
                      10   br   entrypoint

           -b number
                Use number as the address where the  program  will  be  loaded.
                Zero is default.

           -e number
                Real entry point is at address number.  Monfix uses  number  as
                the parameter for the br (third) instruction.

           -m number
                Initial MOD register value is number.  Monfix  uses  number  as
                the parameter for the lprw (first) instruction.

           -s number
                Initial static base register  value  is  number.   Monfix  uses
                number as the parameter for the lprd (second) instruction.

           All numbers are hexadecimal.

           The default file is a.out.
