	It's either Monitor V1.2 or V1.3, probably dated around
	November.

	Take careful notes.  There are two versions of monitor
	on DECWRL (gatekeeper.dec.com), one is the an compressed
	tar archive of the full distribution (V3.x and V2.2 only).  
	The other is a compressed archive of sources suitable for 
	V4.x (and V3.x).  The V4.x source archive is monitor_v4src.tar.Z.
	You probably have the full distribution without the updated
	sources (monitor.tar.Z).

	There are a couple of small bugs in that version, but nothing
	too signifcant (of which I know).

	I am working on a new version numbered V1.3 that will either
	be dated March 4th or late April.  It will have fixes for
	the bugs I've found and will display reserved page/swap on
	the swap screen.  It will have also updated manual pages for
	monitor, some sample data filter and assorted tools.  The
	example suite of tools and filters has been updated.  In
	fact about the only thing hasn't changed is the documention.
	(Anybody got a tech writer I can borrow for a couple of weeks)?
