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 put my keymaps in ~/.x3270pro on both Linux (including Raspberry Pi) and MacOS.? Seee https://github.com/swhobbit/x3270pro, which includes Peter's mapping for alt-4.

Re: IFOX00/ASSEMBLER Question
#VMCE
I believe that what Mark wanted to do with the F level assembler is perfectly valid. The issue he is seeing is that the F level assembler CMS interface routine, DMSASM, does not support this.

Nobody was talking down to you, at least that was not my intent. If you took it that way, my bad. When I see a filetype of MACLIB, I dont think of assembler source programs, I think of assembler

Re: IFOX00/ASSEMBLER Question

Hi Bob and Mark, normally, if a MACLIB contains only macros, there is no need to compile them and there is no need to build a TXTLIB from them; the macros can simply be used by other ASSEMBLER sources
