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: What is the proper way to look at ...
I made an exec to automate the process, and open the UPDATEd file in EE. I called it VMFEE EXEC, modeled on VMFASM EXEC. It also creates an UPDATE file if you edit the file and save it. * *

Re: Are there instructions in VM/CE ti connect
Now that you mention it, the sample images look kind of blurry to me too. They shouldn't be; something must have happened during the process of creating the PDFs, screenshotting them, and turning them

Re: Are there instructions in VM/CE ti connect
Hi Fish, It's all PDF commands (by way of the little PDF library I'm using). For the most part it's just drawing lines and boxes, but that outlined "1" in the bottom right of the page (not sure what

Hi Bertram, I'm quite biased because I wrote the software, but I think the most beautiful PDFs from Hercules virtual printers is produced by virtual1403. There's an instance hosted by Moshix online at

Are there instructions in VM/CE ti connect
Hello, I like reading printouts of listing and source code. Is there a method (and what is it) to: 1) Connect a VM system to my Brother laser printer? 2) Rotate to landscape listing printouts? 3)

I copied the VMFASM exec into two other commands, VMFVIEW and VMFEDIT. Basically replacing the assemble command with Edit or read-only viewer. The edit was a little harder to do because of preparing
