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: GCCCMS for Modern z/VM
The VMARC files would be great, thank you! (and some instructions, of course). I'm a long time MVS guy but I have a few years supporting VM and z/VM as well. You can send them to me directly at

Re: GCCCMS for Modern z/VM
I took the GCCCMS of VM/370 and made three VMARC with it: one for the binaries, and two for the MACLIBs and include files (PDPCLIB or CMSLIB). I copy the whole thing on the account I have on z/VM 6.4

GCCCMS for Modern z/VM
This may have been asked before, but I am looking to install GCCCMS on a modern z/VM system. Does anyone have a pre-packaged setup of GCCCMS? I have downloaded the files from the GCCCMS directory in

Waaaaay back in the early 80s on our CMS system I played a submarine warfare game while waiting on long runs to finish. I want to say the game was "subwar" but I'm not sure. You played a sub with a

Re: A question about vm/370 print output

Great. thanks for detailed explanation. But that doesn't happen on z/VM or VM/ESA, and why do you see 4 more bytes after 0xff, but before form feed? It is not that you just see 0xff and form feed, but

Not true. Its possible to generate multiple "FF" characters in a print file. It appears to be when you tell CP to START a printer, so commence printing from the Spool. So a DRAIN and START, or a
