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: MVS under VM/370 and 3390 DASD
I am afraid I can't help you here. I have the same configuration as you and the execution times are slower but reasonable, yet this for the little use I have. :-(? I rarely run TK5 under VM/370.

Re: MVS under VM/370 and 3390 DASD
Here's my workaround. Use 09A0 3390 mvs/dasd/tk5res.390 09A1 3390 mvs/dasd/tk5cat.391 09A2 3390 mvs/dasd/tk5dlb.392 in the Hercules configuration file, and change the DEDICATE of MVS accordingly:

Re: Managing Host ID on VM370CE
Are there limitations on the SYSTEM or NET ID? Like Alphanumeric only? Or are some special characters allowed? I realize I might be a special character that's not allowed ;-) ... Mark S.

Re: X3270 size
If you want to change the font, you have to change X resources definition (run xfontsel to see set of fonts, but without TrueType). If you want change size in rows/columns, use oversize parameter.
