I said something similar ... and then belatedly remembered that
there is a way to "combine" SYSINTR with new intrinsics ... sort of.

If you have the Pascal external declarations (or typed in
equivalent ones) *and* have the Pascal/iX compiler, you can do:

   :copy sysintr.pub.sys, myintr
   :pasxl

   $buildint 'myintr'$

   $standard_level 'os_features'$

   program add_my_intrinsics;

   Procedure hpdateconvert (...);
      external;

   ...

   begin
   end.

When done, the file "myintr" will have the combination of the
original SYSINTR and whatever procedures you declared above...
ideally, the equivalent of SYSINTR + DATEINTR.

You could then use the combined intrinsic file in either of
two ways:

   1)  replace SYSINTR.PUB.SYS:

      :rename sysintr, sysint0
      :copy myintr, sysintr.pub.sys

      :cobxl... compile as you wish ... and use as many intrinsics
       as you wish...
          CALL INTRINSIC "HPDATECONVERT"
          CALL INTRINSIC "FOPEN"
          ...

   2) File equate:

      :file sysintr.pub.sys = myintr
      :cobxl... compile as you wish ... and use as many intrinsics
       as you wish...
          CALL INTRINSIC "HPDATECONVERT"
          CALL INTRINSIC "FOPEN"
          ...
