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 :-

WATERLOO6.7z is identical (binary comparison on the uncompressed file) as Bob Abele's waterloo.aws tape. So that one can be credited to Bob? ... Mark S.

Re: Hercules VM TCPIP - current situation?
Drew, The original code used VMCF which does exist in VM/370 so that isn¡¯t a problem. I suspect there is no source for WISCNET available. I would love to be proved wrong¡ .. transporting non-vm

Re: Hercules VM TCPIP - current situation?
VM/370 R6 PLC 17 is ~ 1980 code; TCP/IP was running at (for example) at Clarkson University in 1986.? That's not?a huge?gap; I think the primary thing missing was IUCV, but you might be to use VMCF

But if you DO end up needing to configure TCP/IP under VM/ESA, I have done that several times, and can assist if needed. It's also the same IP stack as is used under OS/390, and the configuration is

Re: Hercules VM TCPIP - current situation?
Hi Rob, VMCE is based on nearly 50 year old code. IBM introduced TCPIP support years later. That IBM TCPIP code depends on facilities that were not added to VM until much later. Best regards, Bob
