Now, this is one of those, "But why would you want to do this?" questions , but howabout running z/VM in a Hercules that was itself running under Linux in a virtual machine that was being delivered using the same z/VM a s was running, "down there" - and is, of course, properly and fully license d. Not entirely academic - some of the devices that Hercules can emulate are pretty hard to find nowadays and if one happened to have an application that depended on one of these devices ... (I would, of course, not expect such a configuration to be SUPPORTED but ... is it legal?) Regards Jeff
