I got the ROM disassembly you pointed me to and took a look at it.
Thanks, Ralph.

You're right--it's WPS-8 itself that has the date/time routines that
need patching.

So now I'm looking for a WPS-8 disassembly, and if possible the source
code, which I assume is in PDP-8 assembler.

Is there a forum that PDP-8 folks hang out in where I could ask for leads?

Thanks,
