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 :-

Do we have a list somewhere of what has been installed from those tapes? I was playing with LISTFILE (DMELST) from the tapes and it seems we have an alternate, which has most all of the features,

I have created an Assembler stub which receives control when an EE macro issues an EE subcommand via bREXX. This stub has been prepared with enough information to mimic a C Runtime Anchor Block

Yes... XEDIT has always been in the CMS nucleus along with REXX and everything else... one of the advantages of being written in Assembler... going the C route is going to complicate things a bit
