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
ByWater (BW) BASIC is a port from Unix to VM, (https://sourceforge.net/projects/bwbasic/). The latest update is from 2017-07-07, and it needs the GCC C library, and thus the "PDP00HD" error. This port

Re: Additional Help Files
David, I assume this is BWBASIC which has never run on OS but is a ¡°C¡± Unix program. When you see a DD name like ¡°PDP000HD¡± it usually means that the ¡°C¡± code has issued an open with a

Re: Additional Help Files
The error from basic probably reflects that it's a port from OS, which would have had a DD card to map the PDP000HD file. I don't know about this implementation of basic, or its use of this the
