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: What is ASMAHL?
Mark, It allows the GCC build execs to just call the same assembler. I would much prefer the EXECs to test for ASMAHL and then call it if it exists, but removal breaks the GCC build process. There is

What is ASMAHL?
The GCC EXEC invokes ASMAHL MODULE S, on MAINT 190 (CMSDSK). I'll grant that it is an assembler. Is there documentation for it? ... Mark S.
