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: GCC under VM370 CMS
Hi, again, Tom, The first thing to understand is that in VM, with CMS, the "console" when it is a 3270 operates in two "modes" -- a line-at-a-time mode where it is emulating a keyboard printer (3215)

Re: Two New Projects
Hi, Tom, I recall we had MTS LISP running under VM/CMS back in the late 1970s. The way it was done, someone wrote a small "layer" or "jacket" or "wrapper" for all of the MTS system calls, and that

Re: GCC under VM370 CMS
Tom, You need to use a DIAG 58 call. There are no character sequences that clear the screen. I think the simplest solution is to create a ¡°clrscrn¡± module that loads in the transient area and run

Hi Peter, thanks for your help. I have it working now in hercules.rc but will move to AUTOLOG1 as that seems more authentic. Yes, without AUTOCR it is not a good idea to do this in OPERATOR. I did not
