FILECOMP

FILECOMP

BBN FILECOMP

FILECOMP was a programming language developed at Bolt, Beranek and Newman (BBN). It was one of the three variants of JOSS II (along with TELCOMP and STRINGCOMP) that were developed by BBN.

The language was developed by Jordan Baruch specifically for the GE Medinet project (Ed Yourdon's first "Death March" project). It added implicit file handling capabilities and was influential on MUMPS.

RCA FileComp

The VideoComp was developed by Dr. Rudolph Hell of Kiel, Germany, as the Digiset, and marketed by RCA GSD in the late 1960s and early 1970s as the VideoComp. When RCA got out of the computer business, Information International, Inc. or Triple I took over the support of the VideoComp.

Filecomp resembled an odd mix of Fortran, Cobol, Assembly and RCA GSD Page-1 Composition Languages.
