<p>I have been working with Bob recently to bring the fix up on <font
size="4"><tt>VENTI::</tt></font> to prevent the imminent <font
size="4"><tt>COM911</tt></font> <font size="4"><tt>BUGHLT</tt></font>.
We've both been hampered by some domestic duties and what I refuse
to call "forgetfulness" in the particulars of generating a Tops-10
monitor. Neither one of us has done it in ...'awhile'...<br>
</p>
<div class="moz-forward-container">

<p>It turns out that a <font size="4"><tt>MONGEN</tt></font> is
unnecessary because the system configuration doesn't need to
change. You do need to rebuild <font size="4"><tt>TOPS10.REL</tt></font>,
however. Fortunately, with a small hack, the fix can be
directly patched the monitor with <font size="4"><tt>FILDDT</tt></font>.
You want to modify two instructions at <font size="4"><tt>NMXTIM+13</tt></font>
from:<br>
</p>
<blockquote>
<p><font size="4"><tt>NMXTIM+12/ IDIV T3,TICSEC</tt><tt><br>
</tt><b><tt>NMXTIM+13/ SKIPL T2</tt></b><b><tt><br>
</tt></b><b><tt>NMXTIM+14/ TDNE T1,COMCAW+10</tt></b><tt><br>
</tt><tt>NMXTIM+15/ XCT COM911</tt></font><br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p> To:</p>
<blockquote>
<pre><font size="4">NMXTIM+12/ IDIV T3,TICSEC
<b>NMXTIM+13/ MOVMS T2</b><b>
</b><b>NMXTIM+14/ TDZA T1,COMCAW+10</b>
NMXTIM+15/ XCT COM911</font></pre>
</blockquote>
<p>So doing that will keep you from crashing. You can probably
even deposit them right into the running monitor, if you're
careful enough (one hesitates to say, 'toggle'...)</p>
