Hi again Paul,
He says that the software in question is a version of
WPS-8 for the
PDP-8. It should be possible to fix the date/time problem by dumping
the DECmate's ROM and disassembling the code
I think WPS arrives on floppy. How sure are you the ROM's firmware
provides the date routines used by WPS rather than it just dishing up
something more crude with WPS doing the work of turning it into a date?
