MONGEN dialogue...

In one of your past messages I've seen the output of one of your MONGENs, but
had no time to check it. The only thing I've noticed is that there seem to be
no defaults provided by the program itself, or at least not in the help text.

MONGEN for 7.04 monitors is somewhat different because it was simplified and
made more clear, but the relevant settings are still all there. The following
is the output in MIC format (that is an executable script) of my standard
MONGEN which works flawlessy. I do not remember anymore where I took values
from for parameters where no default is used, anyway it does its thing. I have
not forgotten everything, so if you have questions try to ask me. :)

Here it is:

Are some of your specifically-defined decimal values and similar REQUIRED?

I followed that MONGEN almost exactly and OPR.EXE STILL can't be run!
