I got a student job assisting users during my last two years, and my assist station was fairly close to a window where I could look at the operators and often wondered what they were doing. Now, I get a chance to find out. Many thanks to you and the Hercules team.

I was a IBM Mainframe systems programmer from the early 1970's to 2000. My first box was a OS/360 model 91 with 2 MB of real core memory. The operating system was OS 360 MVT V17.1 which was upgraged to MVS 21.6. I was on the team the converted to MVS Version 2 (Version 1 never got off the ground). Thanks for the memories

Are you aware of the availability, somewhere, of APL\360 or any of the APL interpreters written to run on the 360 or 370 that could be installed or packed in your CD-ROM distribution? Best regards, Pedro

I hope that I will be able to contribute soon in one or another way, even if would be doing some programming or documenting. I enrolled to the Yahoo Turnkey group where I already saw something very interesting. Have a look at the monthly message statistics! After periods of very low response it has grown considerably! I find that mainframers are (eventually)) not dinos at all. Mainframes will have their comeback ... or not ???

I started my career in computers in 1969 on an IBM 360/30 with 32KB that was still emulating an IBM 1440! I moved from trainee operator to senior operator/shift leader, COBOL maintenance programmer, programmer/analyst, system programmer. I was responsible (single-handedly!) for migrating from DOS->DOS/POWER->OS/MFT with HASP and finally OS/VS1 with JES1 on a 370/145 with 512KB of memory! In 1978, with nowhere else to progress to in my place of work, I switched from IBM to ICL. This job lasted till the end of 1984 when I started my own company focusing on OpenVME support. In 1996, with the threat of my becoming a "dinosaur" looming, I looked at the options for myself. It was very clear to me that I would have to retrain my self in the new [emerging] technologies if I wanted to remain competitive. I realised then that, whatever technology was available at the time, there was no way that I would be able to run my installation as I did on the mainframe. So I started designing and writing a mainframe ENVIRONMENT ON A PC - [the equivalents of] JCL, TSO, BATCH, SPOOLER, CONSOLE, etc. Today EBE Computing can run any OpenVME mainframe workload VIRTUALLY UNCHANGED on a Linux, Aix or Windows machine. The throughput on the migrated environment is phenomenal! In a nutshell EBE Computing provide a Windows application, OpenSCL, to run a mainframe environment, modeled on OpenVME, on a modern-day server running Windows, Linux or AIX. OpenSCL runs on, from a laptop up to very advanced servers, with equal ease - and it can make use of the processors of other machines accessible to it on a network. I will be more than happy to discuss what we did with anybody who will listen ...

Hello, I am new to historical computer simulations and emulators, but I am pleased that there are people trying to revive these systems! Currently, I have a Hewlett-Packard HP-2000E Time-Shared BASIC emulator running on an old Dell Precision 410 under Windows 2000 Advanced Server and I am impressed with its authenticity and stability. Since it has Ethernet support, with WinCap 4.0.2 I can connect a "remote" terminal to it by opening telnet on another machine on the LAN by using the "OPEN" command with the hostname and port arguments. Running this simulation brings me back to my high school days. Twenty five years ago I had a job as a computer operator on a IBM System 370/125 DOS/VS POWER/VS Release 34 system. God, how much I would like to run a similation of this system! For now, I will start out tinkering with this MVS 3.8J you have and see if I can implement it on one of my PCs (they all run Windows 2000, either Professional or Advanced Server). I really hope to hear from someone from this group as I will most likely need advice and help with this and locating a DOS/VS image to run with Hercules 3.0.5. I am grateful that a group of IBM-saavy enthusiasts exists and hope to hear from you very soon! :)

I never had any exposure to OS in school and MVS hadn't been developed yet. My only exposure to VM was at Credit Systems in '79. It's been a real struggle but I'm trying to relearn assembler and hope to develope some non-trival programs later on, using Music and 390sim. Thanks for all the work that's gone into the MVS Turnkey!

Blob's law: The faster and the cheaper the hardware, the slower and bulkier the code. I remember how fast the FLIST facility was for CMS compared to Windows painfully slow ability to search for files and to display the contents of a folder. Won't the need for energy conservation rekindle an interest in efficiently sharing a blazingly fast mainframe? I would think the time saved from individuals having to continually re-install Windows would dramatically improve the world economic productivity:--) I am a VM fan, but I am going to try the MVS Tur(n)key system because the VM systems seems to leave a BM on my computer.

Thanks for sharing your expertise. I hadn't worked on MVS since 1994, so you saved me a lot of time relearning the sysgen procedures. The turnkey system just works. Good job.

Then I saw the course details and fee in Euro...which is very very expensive to my standards. But your method and detail are definite invaluable. Thanks a lot for that.

The Volker Turnkey really is a solid piece of work. It definitely helps to get a feel for what a reasonably configured system looks like if you have the opportunity to see one first, rather than finding out the hard way via trial and error. My background is very Unix, but I am very glad now that I can actually communicate in the same language when my projects happen to interface with a mainframe shop. Keep up the excellent work, this Turkey's reputation is well-deserved.

Hi ! Previously I have messed around with Volker's and other distributions of MVS (never MVT). But your system got me going fast !! with lots of TSO utilities. I'm still learning about the nuts and bolts of mainframe, but this is the first chance I got to IPL my own machine and watch the messages flying past. Wish I had VS COBOL on it though. I studied ALGOL in school (the mother of all languages - even C language is derived from it) and would love to try it out on this system. By the way, Congragulations for giving a system with a Faultless install, with lots and lots of goodies on the DASD. Could you tell me how to switch off the autopilot ? I did P BSPPILOT, but then it restarts next time. Would like to customize some settings like making JES2 start COLD, and format spool etc. Does anyone know of any old version of ISPF which we can use, and perhaps a C compiler for Mainframe ? Ever Hopeful, My best wishes to THE MVS TK COMMUNITY for a great job well done, for allowing us to play with one hell of a classic system. Raj Anne

What can I say, but Wonderful. Very close to what we have at work. I am no mainframe guru (trying to learn hence me installing the Tur(n)key system) but everything down to the RPF Console is very close. Wonderful system, easy setup, and pretty much flawless startup. I am running this on Linux and when coupled with a stable system like that, I expect great things out of it. Now the learning starts :)

Would like to see the interface code from HERCGUI to hercules. Thinking of writing interface from MVS3.8 to hercules for external processing of remote PC files. Is it documented anywhere how to switch from MVS native hercules mode to a PC APP? Could be a reserved user SVC# to switch to PC mode?

Please drop the FAIL from my email address I would like to order the MVS 3.8J CD for running under Windows 2000 SP4 and I will return a letter containing $15 US. William M Trepak 19640 North 31st Ave 18-2-3 Phoenix, AZ 85027 From what I understand you will trust me by sending the CD and then expecting me to return the money and I would like to do this. By any chance to do you know what the postage would be? Want to verify the address: Volker Bandke Auf dem Brenneick 9A 21220 Seevetal Germany PS. I was a Systems programmer starting on MVT 18 in 1970, moving to MVS 2 1974 and installed every major release of MVS within 90 days (pre/post) of GA. I am now in management and this will be the only way I can play with old memories. I look forward to the install which will be on an IBM 600X laptop with 11 GB hard drive. I am also interested in getting a PL/1, FORTRAN H and COBOL compilers. Is it also possible to get ASM H?

Great stuff - my first work was with a DOS/RS based 360/65. That installation evolved into a 370/148 and 3031 combo. The 148 was replaced with a 4341. All running VM, DOS/RS, and eventually VS1. I never had to deal with MVS (we were a hospital and in those days couldn't afford "big iron") so this is my chance to see what it would have been like. I did work with XA & ESA at Cullinet - but never as a sysprog.

I am a former MVS systems programmer attempting to install and run the turnkey MVS and Hercules system. BTW, MVS is not a 'turkey' as implied by the 'tur(n)key' name. MVS, when installed properly, is very reliable; it's just a complicated and batch oriented system.

I recently got cd-3 from a share conference. I also have an up to date copy of cygwin on my machine. When I try to run "install.bat" it warns that I have more than one copy of cygwin1.dll on my system, and then after I type secret, it gives me the same warning, tells me to try again, and goes into a loop. I managed to install successfully on my home system, I think because it has an old copy of cygwin. After I ipl'd successfully I get my traditional tso command prompt, but without ISPF what do I do ?? where do I start?? Is there an ispf replacement I can invoke to get myself started ????

Who would have thought in 1974 when I started my career on an IBM 370/145 with a MASSIVE 256Kb of REAL storage and OS/VS1 running THREE partitions (Remember those? Nothing to do with HDAs!)that I would be looking at running it, and others like it, on a Notebook PC. My all time favourite OS is OS/MVS release 2 and above with the JES3 (not JES2, although that is cool, too) subsystem. A very big THANK YOU to all and any who have made this possible. Keep up the good work! ;-}

Last time I worked with MVS 3.8 was in 1985. The first time was 10 years earlier, in 1975 when MVS was at the release 2 level (OS/VS2 Rel.2). Next time will be on my modest IBM IntelliStation which has more MIPS, more RAM, more Gigs than the entire datacenter had back then. As a by-the-way, the last sysgen I ran was for OS/VS1, called SVS, the virtual memory offspring of OS/MFT.

I needed a primer for running an IBM System/370 operating system, such as, MVS for relearning mainframe basics to get a mainframe programming job. I don't know, but it would be great if there were other work-like tools for education purposes, such as, a COBOL compiler, JCL-like, and CICS like stuff.

I worked as an Operator on an IBM 3090-600J in 1989 and consulted on large IBM systems thereafter as a programmer and database designer. My beginning in IBM big iron began in 1978 on an IBM 360 and later 370-158, and 370-148. Great Work!

This brings me back to my roots. I started my professional career with OS/VS2 Release 1.6 (SVS) in 1974. Then, Fireman's Fund went directly to MVS 3.0 (bypassing 2.0) and the rest is history. I *LOVE* the CBT tapes. Thanks!
