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: Getting Started with VM/CMS
35 years ago ... 1985 ... VM/ESA ... so a bit more modern to the old six pack (!) On the six pack 1.3 beta we have fsedit rather than xedit and fslist. Both community created. And also brexx. Fsedit

Re: Getting Started with VM/CMS
Thanks for the replies. After some experimentation, I discovered that the 'logon' command only works when abbreviated to 'log'. Using the abbreviated form I can specify both username and password on

Re: GCCLIB Build Update and Questions
After thought, the guys would not have added the stubs if they intended to carry on using define/macro so I am reenabling the c code. Works with free and malloc - so I will continue :-)

Re: GCCLIB Build Update and Questions
OK you asked what happens. Well what should happen is that the SYSPROF calls RESLIB which loads "GCCLIB TEXT" into memory. This contains the real "C" library. It then patches the CMS Nucleus to point

Re: GCCLIB Build Update and Questions
The new assemble files kind of needed a new c file too - kind of - so If we look at free for example in stdlib.c // Note:? free is implemented as a macro.? See stdlib.h. // void free(void * ptr) //

Re: YREGS
On z/OS systems today YREGS is just a simple assembler macro introduced to MVS in 1992 as part of DFSMS V1 (5695-DF1) which consists of simple general register equates like this: R0 EQU 0 R1 EQU 1

Re: YREGS
