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:

This is a standalone program using the PDP-6 Microtape device.
The source code has been fixed to assemble with the current version of
MIDAS. Double !s are needed to get the concatenation right. Also,
garbage at the end was removed.
This is assembled with MIDAS, and then translated with IMTRAN to an
ASCII form suitable for uploading to an Imlac terminal. MOUSE is
enabled to ensure the MSW opcode is defined.
