MONOFIX
    -------

    The ATARI Falcon030 can be connected to the SM124/144/146. It will 
    then automatically display ST-high-resolution. But there is a 
    little problem (at least with TOS 4.01): Some (older) programs quit 
    saying they only work in high resolution, but the resolution 
    definitivly is "ST-high". And Maccel doesn't invert the screen 
    periodically, as it is used to be in ST-high, it only inverts it 
    once.

    So I searched for a reason and found two things: One system-variable 
    isn't initialized correctly (sshiftmd, it's saying 3 instead of 2) and 
    the palette-size of the vdi work_out-field shows 4096 (which is, 
    according to Julian F. Reschke, correct, but causes some programs to 
    think they don't run in ST-high).

    MONOFIX is a patch for the AUTO-folder that hooks itself into trap #2 
    (XBRA MFIX) and waits for the v_opnwk-call of the AES. It then sets the 
    the palette-size to 2 and initialises sshiftmd correctly. Now Maccel 
    works as expected and most programs will run without complaining that 
    they are only running in ST-high.

    MONOFIX may be freely distributed, the only condition is that both 
    files (MONOFIX.PRG and MONOFIX.TXT) are copied completely and unchanged 
    (archiving is allowed).
