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 :-

I think that is correct. I can't remember if I did anything special for "sys" when I tweaked the code for "sys". Let me have a look. By the way GMAIL seems to block this. Might be better to upload

Now here's someone just asking for pain :-D Within the attached file, zlib-1.2.11.tar.gz, is the program, adler32.c, which I am trying to compile, using GCCLIB. Screen scraping is in adler32.listing.

Quick and dirty : create a TXTLIB with 13 parts and then use it in your GLOBAL before loading the last one and issue the genmod command Other way would be to use a variable to hold the sequence of

vm370 Load command in exec file
Most likely really dumb question, but I have a LOAD command that has14 modules to load before I do a GENMOD.? It appears after col 72, the system drops the remaining names. Is there a way to have a

Dave, The minidisk is released, after my attempted compile, and I didn't know what was, or was not available. This kicked off the search, which turned into this chain of messages. Thanks for your

Bob, I am missing a header, which started this entire journey. Plus side, I know more than I started with. Minus side, I need to port the missing header file to CMS. Thank you! ... Mark S.

Re: GCC EXEC on S-disk, but Not On Any Other Minidisk?

Hi Mark, I setup the MAINTC disks for the purpose of building the C runtime, and BREXX. You should use the GCC user disks which the compiler accesses during the compilation. When the CMS option is

Re: GCC EXEC on S-disk, but Not On Any Other Minidisk?

Bob, I am more interested in the CMS emulation/headers than OS, at this instant. It seems that MAINTC 394 (see the reply to Dave) and GCCCMS 202 contain same/similar files. I will make time to compare

Re: GCC EXEC on S-disk, but Not On Any Other Minidisk?

There seems to be a lot of confusion about how various header files are included in compiles. I am certainly not an expert in GCC on VM, C library options, or CMS itself. But, the discussion begs the

Dave, Thanks for the additional explanation. I did find *.h files which seem to emulate/imitate/replace those from /usr/include/*.h files on MAINTC 394. My two cents on minidisk vs MACLIB would be
