  I remember using TELCOMP back in 1969 (27 years ago). We used it, via a dial
  up line, on a PDP-7 (TELCOMP II) and later on a PDP-10 (TELCOMP III).

  
  

  I don't remember much about the machines that we used other than that we
  leased time from a company called Time Sharing Limited of Great Portland Street,
  London. I also have a note from that time about on-line storage charges. It cost
  30p (about 45 cents) per 640 byte block per month!

  
  

  The family resemblance between TELCOMP and M is just about recognizable
  especially if you were familiar with MUMPS-11. [refer code example above]

  
  

  Comparison with M:

  
  
  
  
  1. No variable declaration. No data typing (String support in TELCOMP III?)
  
  
  2. Sparse local arrays. No globals. File I/O was conventional, I think.
  
  
  3. For loop construct.
  
  
  4. TYPE command identical to MUMPS-11
  
  
  5. Part/Step numbering identical to MUMPS-11
  
  
  6. Form Input/Output feature was unique to TELCOMP.
  
  
  7. Do label+offset still exists in M today.
