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 :-

Using Hercules version specific config file parameters with VM370CE
I changed the subject line to be more specific. I caused the existing difficulty with ARCHLVL -vs- ARCHMODE because I thought that 3.13 supported both. That was an error on my part. However, there are

Re: Change to http://vm370.org/VM/V1R1.1
Joe, There is no need for two configs. The 6-pack was not designed to work with the FISH GUI and it only fails with the FISH GUI. A tweak to the fish GUI config allows it to works. Dave Sent: 02

Re: Change to http://vm370.org/VM/V1R1.1
Dave, Maybe you should deliver two versions of the config file... One specifically for v4 (ARCHLVL) and one that is "general" (ARCHMODE). Or deliver one file with #ARCHMODE and tell the user to

Re: Change to http://vm370.org/VM/V1R1.1
Ant, The old version works with both 3.13 and 4.xx. The change to the new version was made because the FISH GUI objects to the old version. I believe the real fix is to tell people we don¡¯t support

Change to http://vm370.org/VM/V1R1.1
I have devised several ways of automagically stepping over the issue that I bumped into running CE with 3.13. but using the KISS principle, perhaps a clearer statement on point 3 on this web page
