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: How to save CMS system?
Thanks, it worked perfectly.
I honestly never imagined that one <enter> too many could cause such a problem.
Thanks again, I'm going to stop playing with teddy bears and go back to turkeys.

Re: How to save CMS system?

Re: How to save CMS system?
The SAVESYS command *MUST* be *ONLY* entered at the 1st VM READ after the IPL command. If you wait until after the 1st ready message, then it won't work.

Re: How to save CMS system?
A useful way to avoid having to resave CMS all the time is to have an
additional program disk to hold locally installed stuff that's not part
of the base CMS installation. We used a minidisk that was
