+.TH FORE_DNLD 8 "1996-12-03" "HARP"
+.SH NAME
+fore_dnld \- Download FORE Systems' microcode into host ATM adapter
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+.B fore_dnld
+[-i intf]
+[-d path]
+[-f objfile]
+.sp
+.fi
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.I fore_dnld
+downloads FORE Systems' microcode into the host ATM adapter(s).
+.fi
+.SH OPTIONS
+.TP
+.B \-i intf
+Specify which ATM interface to download microcode to.
+Default is to load microcode into all FORE Systems host adapters.
+.TP
+.B -d path
+Specify the path to prepend to the "objfile" name.
+Default is to use current directory.
+.TP
+.B -f objfile
+Specify the microcode binary file. Defaults are:
+"sba200.obj" for SBA-200 adapters,
+"sba200e.obj" for SBA-200E adapters, and
+"pca200e.bin" for PCA-200E adapters.
+.fi
+.SH NOTES
+.PP
+Microcode as distributed by FORE Systems is not ready for downloading
+directly into SBA host ATM adapters. Instead, the supplied microcode needs
+to be processed with the "objcopy" command to create an image suitable
+for downloading. Arguments to "objcopy" are "-S -l -Fcoff". Microcode as
+distibuted by FORE Systems for the PCA host ATM adapter does not need
+to be processed.
+.SH "SEE ALSO"
