So I loaded up a basic VM/370 built a long time ago from the starter system and it does it. So no modification, no added software, just as it came from the release tape. It puts the 0xFF on the first

Yes, I am sure about 0xff. As a matter of fact, first 5 bytes are 0xff 0x0d 0x0a 0x0d 0x0a and 0x0c which is a form feed. You can see this in files 5664167MEMO.txt and?5664147MEMO.txt which are

I noticed that first byte in the output is 0xff. Is there a reason for this character to be there? I also noticed that there is no end banner. Can this be added?

James, Lots of ways. If you have a REXX that¡¯s supported by Hercules you could write REXX exec to load all the files via 00C. If you are using one of Fish¡¯s Hercules you can use his VMFPLC2
