Being the jct!jct in question, maybe I can help. I wrote the Xenix 286
version of 'monitor', someone else, alas I lost his name and patches due
to a disk failure, made changes for Xenix 386. My version currenly runs
on SCO UNIX 386 and I am working on RISC Ultrix. I no longer have 286
hardware to test on and I am sure I have missed a few #if XENIX_286s
along the way but it should be a good starting point.

I subscribe to comp.sources.unix myself but have never seen umon386. I tried
submitting monitor myself to that group over a year ago but never saw any
response.

Anyhow, there is a working SCO UNIX version available and maybe someone
would like to help out on my understanding the internals of BSD UNIX so
I can complete the Ultrix one?
