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: How to contribute some fixes?
¿ªÔÆÌåÓýMike,I think the best help you can do is to test the new releases as they appear. Its good to have input from some one who is a little distant, and who reads the documents with a different outlook. Dave On 22/12/2024 18:10, Mike Rankin via

Re: How to contribute some fixes?
Ross,
?
I'd suggest just placing your fixes in the Files section of this group.? Not everyone uses VM/CE and some of us are still on Sixpack 1.2 and I know at least one who is using the VMDIST 5-pack system.
?
When I contributed the DIAG58 enhancement and others, I also posted them to the Files section where they still remain.? It was not until later when Dave Wade decided to take on and create Sixpack 1.3 that all of the available patches and fixes from all contributors was preinstalled into that release.? But they all basically came out of the Files section.? If later on someone decides to take on the creation of a new release of VM/CE or whatever might follow, the Files section still remains the place where these modifications are stored.? And also allows others on older releases to have access to your fixes if they choose.
?
However, I have to point out that I am not sure that whatever modifications that the late Bob Bolch may have personally contributed to VM/CE were actually placed into the Files section.
?
Regards,
Bob |

How to contribute some fixes?
As I've noted before, I've got a small number of fixes to contribute to the community, independent of the work I've been doing on bREXX.? I've signed out update numbers for them for CP and CMS on the wiki.? I've renumbered them accordingly, written small MEMO files to go with them, and I've now got a VMARC file for each update. So, now what do I do with them?? Is there a central collection point I should upload them to?? Is there some place I should leave a breadcrumb for the next VM/CE release?? Am I just worrying too much about this?? Is this all there is to life? ( ? ) Ross |

Third and final beta of bREXX 1.1.0 now available
The third beta release of bREXX v1.1.0 for CMS on VM/370 is now available at .? I have been testing this update for about 1 week.? It has 1 additional known bug ), which has been reproduced with bREXX 1.0.1 on VM/370 CE 1.1.2.? That bug will be addressed separately from the 1.1.0 release. I do not recommend replacing your existing bREXX version with this, but it is ready for testing as the expected release candidate.? The installation instructions are unchanged from the first beta email, except for the release version number, and are reproduced below. This the final beta before the actual release.? My plan is to rechristen beta-03 as the final release in January, with no changes except to address any bugs that may be reported before then. Your feedback is greatly desired :-) Ross =========================== Release contents This release builds upon the existing work of others (i.e., bREXX 1.0.1), and adds: ? ? ? - Raise Rexx level to 3.45. I0095 - SIGNAL ON isn't turned off after trapping. I0094 - Implement NUMERIC FORM VALUE. I0092 - Add support for CONDITION(). As I noted in October and November, beta-01 and beta-02 previously added: ? ? ? - Add HELPREXX files. I0087 - Add support for DATE(BASEDATE). I0081 - STORAGE() built-in function incorrectly expects a decimal address. VM/SP says hex ? ? ? - Add support for OPTIONS instruction. I0085 - Fix TRACE N output and support TRACE F. I0080 - SIGNAL doesn't set SIGL ? ? ? - Fix PARSE "with literals" (vm370 Issue 61), including adding tests for PARSE instruction I0078 - Make PARSE VERSION result conform to ANSI and TRL2 standards I0075 - Implement SIGNAL ON FAILURE (Issue 75) I0073 - Fix SIGNAL ON ERROR for positive return codes (Issue 73) ? ? ? - Enable tests in builds and fix them to work.? Some tests failed on bREXX 1.0.1 and still fail on bREXX 1.1.0 Beta: ? ? ? ? - DATE ? ? ? ????- ERRORTEXT #2 ? ? ? ????- PARSE #16, #19 ? ? ? - Repair and improve builder scripts Notes

Re: ZORK on VM/370 CE ... POSSIBLE?
Alejandro,
?
On Melinda Varian's web page you can also find "ZORK VMARC".
?
VM/CE does support VMARC.? So, you can use VMARC UNPK to "unpack" the files in the VMARC archive file,
?
You only need to issue:
?
? ?VMARC UNPK ZORK * A ZORK VMARC A??
?
to extract the executable MODULE and EXEC and the components it needs (the ZORK TEXTDATA and INDEX) to run it.
?
You do not need to unpack all of the FORTRAN source files or corresponding TEXT files, unless you intend to study the source code or attempt to modify it
?
Note: you may need to sign-on to VM/CE as CMSUSER or create a new userID with a sufficiently large minidisk to contain the ZORK VMARC file and extract its contents.
?
Hope that helps.
?
All the best,
?

Re: ZORK on VM/370 CE ... POSSIBLE?
Further digging on error 220 doesn't look good:
?
Explanation: FIOCS -- A data set
reference number exceeds the limit specified for data set reference numbers when this operating system was generated.? ?
I found that on Fortran IV System/360 guide ... so seems to be something related to fortran compiler I/O operations on the underlying system.
So, as I understand, some zork fortran sources cannot be compiled under VM/370 CE CMS.
?
Cheers.

Re: ZORK on VM/370 CE ... POSSIBLE?

?
I have added a B minidisk to my VM user and unpacked vmarc onto it.
genzork exec is indeed there... I do not know but whether the vmarc I'm using is the same one that the one found on Moshix repo. File size is but the same for both, so they may be the very same.

Re: ZORK on VM/370 CE ... POSSIBLE?
Hi.
?
The version I came across is this one found within an Archived internet site:
?
I simply 'paste' bellow the relevant part found on that site:
ZORK for CMS
The three packed files should be transferred in binary mode and then prepared for execution on CMS as follows:
The VMARC file (which contains the other files) should be transferred in binary mode, reblocked using an "fblock 80" pipeline stage, and then unpacked using the VMARC command. ?
I didn't manage to make it to work, I didn't expected to, due to the lack of PIPE command in CE.
I gave a try anyways, but being quite a noob on CMS (I come from the Linux world) I simply unpacked the VMARC right on my user A minidisk (what a mess! I had to clean up quite a lot afterwards... but I'm almos sure genzork exec was among the unpacked stuff) and tried to launch the zork exec, which threw quite a lot of terminal ugly errors.
So I guess I should have to instead add to my user a small minidisk with a few cyls, and 'mount' it as B, and unpack the whole stuff there.
?
Anyways, I have to take a look at the Moshix one you pointed out... don't know wether or not (possibly it is) the same piece of software.?
?
It would be very fun to have it working on CE!

ZORK on VM/370 CE ... POSSIBLE?
Hi forum and Merry Christmas!
?
I've stumbled with some cached web contents that, apparently, may indicate that Zork ran on CMS under VM/370.
Sure, I've taken that with a grain of salt... I've that would be indeed possible, sure someone would have done that before me.
?
As soon as I tried to give it a shot, I've found that I need the PIPE command in order to 'reblock' the actual files, but net even PIPE command seems to be available.
Any clues? has anyone really made Zork run under VM/370?
?
Thanks, Cheers.
