Source reconstructed from binary file BAWDEN; UPTIME BIN dated 1986-06-22.
This program is called hourly. It updates the file BAWDEN; UPTIME
DATA. Each entry is three words. The first is the host name. The
program tries to read the M.F.D. for that host through MLDEV. If it
responds, the current date and time are written to the next two words.
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.)

Using the INFO; INFO EMACS text from EMACS; TSINFO 62, dated 1982-01-05.
For some unknown reason, we can't use a printing terminal when
generating a new TSINFO. Temporarily switch to AAA then back to LA36.
Retrieved from <http://web.onetel.net.uk/~hibou/ITSter.txt>. Earlier
versions are in SV: HIBOU; -- I've given this version 186 because it's
identical to version 185 (dated 2002-03-13) except for a change of name.

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:
