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: CLOAD EXEC
CKFSTYPE EXEC Y2, seems to be tied to MECAFF, as it checks on DIAG58 and your console type. GCOMD EXEC Y2,? seems related to some kind of G class user support, things you can, or can't do. GFILE1

Re: The EE editor
Hi Ant, I believe the correct operation would be to preserve the file mode number of an existing file, even if the number was not supplied on the EE invocation. That should eliminate any interactions

Port of SQLITE ?
Has anyone ported SQLITE onto R1.V1.1? I know that IBM has it as a download, but to save me the effort of checking if this has any issues, I wondered if anyone here had separately completed this work?
