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 :-

I am preparing to distribute a bleeding edge preview of EE which can be loaded in high memory using RESLIB. It is very important to understand the difference between STATIC and DYNAMIC linking against

Re: How to setup DASDs sharing correctly between two z/VMs under Hercules.
I meant CMS not zVM. Thats where the muddle came. I read it as he was using exactly the same system disks for everything. You can't do that each zVM needs its own disks.. Of course if you have a guest

Hello! I want us to keep doing things. And Ross I believe we've met over a screen running xedit inside X3270, but the host was clear across the show space's floor, and Javitts is very big. ----- Gregg

Me too - I think it is very important for the people who love VM and Rexx but are not inclined to do peacemeal updates of these environments - due to lack of expercience or lack of time. We should try

How to setup DASDs sharing correctly between two z/VMs under Hercules.
Hello! Sorry for my bad English. I use one Hercules' instance for Share Device Server. One Hercules' instance should use DASDs with read-write access, the second Hercules' instance should use DASDs

It would be possible to set up a first run EXEC that would let you choose the PF key of your choice, for RETRIEVE. and probably anything else. Volunteers? ... Mark S.

Mark, It is not just XNET, it is the nature of the beast.? When a CTC device has an i/o in progress, the entire channel is busy; if there are other devices on the channel, whether they are other CTCs
