Weird.  With the version I have, you simply run the program with no
options, the machine resets and you are then in Pal mode.  In case
you have a different version, or it is corrupted, I have included
a uuencoded copy of the version I am currently used.

The below file was extracted directly from the archive of sources.amiga
vol/issue number v90i113.  The executable is VERY small, and should be
exactly 68 bytes long after uudecoding.  NOTE: This will only work with
the 1meg Fat Agnus chipset.
