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: Where can I learn how CMS is different ...
1. XEDIT is a big difference -- having a full screen editor is great 2. REXX nucleus extensions -- I dont THINK VM/370 could load extensions for REXX 3. Fullscreen utilities, e.g. FLIST. I don't think

I have vague memories of needing to regen CP twice a year under VM/SP HPO 5 because you couldn't dynamically change the timezone. We'd go in to IPL at 2 or 3 AM with the new nucleus just to change the

Where can I learn how CMS is different ...
Hi, For my edification, I'm wondering how (if at all) CMS on the z/VM system is different from the VM/370/SP version of CMS. Where can I learn more about it? Thank you, Bertram Moshier
