From disassembly of MOON; TS JEDGAR, dated 1976-10-17.
TS JEDGAR shows signs of multiple layers of binary patching. No
attempts were made to recreate this process in the build script.
At the * prompt, type a file name and then Enter to load that file.
(Terminate with Altmode to first load the GT40LL "loader loader".
That file is currently missing.)
On my machine the expect script fails to see the ". words" because the "." is
separated by a newline and the message "IT IS NOW..." (time) followed by a newline with "words". Chnaged from ". words" to "words".
Resolves#1134.
Add HACK; to sources.tape, and add a missing \r to the build command.
I've also increased the timeout for MAKE WEBSER to be consistent with
what we've done for MUDDLE XFILE; since it's only a single MIDAS
invocation at the moment this shouldn't really be necessary.

This is a very old source file -- AI: SYSENG; MONIT 114 is listed in
MAPS in 1971-04. Development happened on DM; "Scenarios for Using
Arpanet at the International Conference on Computer Communication" has a
1972-09 transcript showing MONIT 192 on DM.
The binary SYS; TS MONIT is listed on AI, MC and ML from 1971 to 1983 in
MAPS, although it doesn't survive in the AI/MC KS10 dumps. A 1981
message to BUG-ITS from ED@MIT-ML suggests it was an old version:
