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: Stupid Question - how to add a file to MAINT MNT19E
Not a stupid question at all. It is tricky to make changes to files on the Y or S disks. As far as I recall, the directories for the Y and S disks are saved as part of the saved CMS system and these

Re: building BREXX
Hi Adrian, works like a charm. Except high CPU usage of com.docker.hyperkit, but if I google around, that seems a macos docker app problem. Extremely useful for the type of thing I am planning to do,

Re: building BREXX
No problem. I fixed it by putting an &DISK = A in between, marking the first time I edited something in classic exec. Logging on after that loads the new BREXX TEXT, which means I can now debug,

Folks (especially Rene) There is no REXX MODULE because having a REXX module in CMS is pretty useless. In VM/370 CMS MODULES are usually loaded at the same location in main store, in the start of the
