This group is for all folks running the original IBM VM/370 Release 6 operating system (or later (e.g. VMTCE (Community Edition)) on Hercules. Like the other early IBM operating systems this version has always been in the public domain and so can be freely distributed. The base version as supplied by IBM is lacking in many facilities. IBM solved this by providing additional extension products which were licensed and so are not available. There are however many user enhancements available which can be installed. In addition, in order to get users up and running quickly updated "releases" of VM/370 included the most popular updates are available for download, so novices can start to learn VM without having to delve into the system internals. It is intended that this wiki will provide information on the base release and these updates.
The available versions are here :-

Re: VM/370 CE an05d SNA (via DLSw)
Michael, So you are correct there is no SNA in VM/370 so a VTAM connection isn't possible. However some 3174s can run TCP/IP and if they have CUT mode terminals then these can initiate TN3270?

Re: VM/370 CE an05d SNA (via DLSw)
Sadly, VM/CE and other VM/370 systems do not speak SNA at all. [email protected]> wrote:

VM/370 CE an05d SNA (via DLSw)
Dear Forum, a fellow board member on a German vintage computer forum, who has a 3174 and a Cisco Router asked me if it is possible to attach these to a Hercules emulator running VM/370. For the best

Re: Thoughts regarding remote 3270 support
I don't see the point either.? Even if it could be made to work, why would anyone want to?? We can define all of the local 3270s we need and then some. I am the author of the DIAGNOSE 58, 7C, and 8C

Re: Thoughts regarding remote 3270 support
Whilst its not Hercules I am sure there are a few folks around with P390's and the 5-pack used to run just fine on mine. I no longer have it, but MCA cards that will run bi-sync are not uncommon,

Hello! William (and Jay, and Dave), for my efforts, I would sometimes run a Hercules instance supporting the original Two Pack variety of VM 370. And would wow the people in my LUG with doing so, from

Re: Thoughts regarding remote 3270 support
It should be possible to gen and load EP into a 3720 - or the 3705 emulator, as well. There's only one problem: I'm not aware of any copies of EP running around for either platform.

Re: Thoughts regarding remote 3270 support
For a long time Hercules didn't support remote 3270s. In fact I have no idea how to support them now, but I think in theory it should be possible to generate and load EP into a 3720 It never was good.

Thoughts regarding remote 3270 support
Is there a consensus opinion on supporting remote 3270 in VM Community Edition? Should it be supported (as much as possible) at par with local 3270 support? Should it be abandoned and either deleted

I went back to the original e-mail. The actual "error" is an incorrect directory statement. PASCAL is invalid and should be MDISK. That said, the DISKMAP program doesn't process that properly, so

I have a REXX driven prototype of RDRLIST based on The New EE and similar preparations for FILELIST, but my development has come to a full stop due to my health. I still do not have access to ADHD

FULIST and FLIST are quite similar.? The first look was identical. As end-user you need some adaption to migrate to FIELLIST, there you can type over the file information.? In FULIST/FLIST here

What's the use and where's the fun in being a VM Programmer if you can't tweak the utilities to your liking ;-) I guess this means that FILELIST is closer to FULIST than FLIST is, and I'll stop
