I do my patching via a C program which opens the binary for
reading and writing, then seeking to the proper place and
write()-ing the proper value.

To guarantee[sic?] one monster room per level, patch in a couple
NOP's just before the first call to treas_room in put_things.
These will overwrite the random element that gives you a chance
in 20 of getting a monster room.
