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: Additional Help Files
Mark, I feel its a pretty poor port. I don¡¯t think its been tested properly. The open error code is because its opening a file, we don¡¯t get the name because of the hacks to get PDPCLIB working.

Re: Additional Help Files
I have the files on a minidisk on my VM, and can create a "tape" using VMFPLC2, and then commit that. The Hercules/Fish vmfplc2 command will process it. Does that work?? If so, then I will also tidy

Re: WAKEUP - does a emulation of this module exist
The assembler code requires macros from SCHMAC MACLIB, which I have added to WAKEUP VMARC, so if you don't see the MACLIB with VMARC LIST, then ensure you have? the most recent copy of the file.
