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:
