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: NJE
Hi Dan, VMCE 1.1.2 RSCS does not support the NJE interface because the developer considers the code incomplete, and does not want to allow it to be included. Bob Bolch [email protected]> wrote:

Re: VM370CE
Hello Bob, I was able to reproduce that behavior with ZOC. The problem disappeared when I change the terminal from 3278-2 to 3279-2-E. So could this be related to the colors used in the EE screen?

Re: VM370CE
Hi Frank, Thanks for the screen shots. Your setup looks correct. However, the ''No fullscreen support present" is NOT what we should be seeing. I will keep looking onto the issue. Bob Bolch wrote:
