Intercom was an early 1960s programming system used in computing environments like the Bendix G-15; this is not to be confused with SCOPE/INTERCOM of Control Data. It featured two versions:
- Intercom 500 – an easy-to-use, self-contained system requiring no specialized knowledge; provided facilities for computer control, program preparation, input, output, and program checkout.
- Intercom 1000 – similar to Intercom 500, with support for single-precision and double-precision operations, and program control, I/O, and program check-out functions.[1]
Interface and Command Structure
Intercom internally used binary representation for commands and data, but all user interactions were performed using sexadecimal (base-16) notation. A rich set of terminal command statements is described in the Intercom Version 5 Reference Manual and accompanying Command Summary.
