Abstract

Telsim is a TELetypewriter SIMulation language designed for nonprogrammers and written for a moderate-size time-sharing system. It simulates continuous systems that can be described by a block diagram. Its input language is a natural engineering description of the boxes that comprise the diagram. The time-sharing system is offered commercially by the General Electric Company. This system uses a GE-235 computer shared by a number of remote model 33 or 35 teletypewriters. The programming language is a special version of FORTRAN II.
