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: Have a working storage under VM/370
Actually if you tell us which docker image you are using and which commands you use to run it we might be able to add more info.. Dave Sent: Tuesday, April 9, 2024 5:21 PM To: [email protected]

Re: Have a working storage under VM/370
I believe this is a docker issue. You need to ask the person who created the docker image. We don¡¯t support docker here. Dave Sent: Tuesday, April 9, 2024 1:15 PM To: [email protected] Subject: Re:

If you want an acid test, try WATERLOO2.aws and scan files 2 through 3 and see if it hiccoughs.? If not, then we certainly have a winner. Below is my attempt to scan it with PETAPE from WATERLOO5.aws
