Does anyone have the diffs required to make "top" run on a DECstatsion?  I started to do a port myself but ran into trouble without having the programers reference manuals.

I know of the monitor routine, but not the "moitor" program.  Does this perform a function similar to "top"?  Is decwrl a piece of an ftp site name?
