Well its interesting. The IN-18 has two pins that are connected to the 'giver pill', pins 1 and 8. Perhaps you could use those two pins for decimal points? I don't have an IN-18 to hand right now, but I assume the pins are shorted together, so no existing clock would have those wired to anything? I know that the PV electronics clocks (as an example) don't have them wired to anything.
