Hello and thank you Les for your reply.

Yup, I'm aware of Hercules, which is basically the hardware.  As I
understand it, a version of it is equal to a System/390, no less.

Right now, legally, the only version a person can run is the public domain
VM/370 R6 PLC 3 or similar.  Yet, one could run VM/XA or VM/ESA on
Hercules, if IBM would allow people.

What I was saying is simply:  It would be great for IBM to allow people to
run VM/ESA or earlier at home using Hercules for non-commercial purposes.

While VM/370 R6 is OK, it is missing a lot of great features (such a 32-bit
and 64-bit addressing), as well as REXX!!!!!

I can't see any downside for IBM in allowing people at home and for
non-commercial purpose to run VM/ESA or earlier versions.

Well, this is an ooRexx forum and not one on VM or System/3X0 hardware
emulators.

I just miss VM.  I started at The Ohio University in 1977 and stopped using
VM as an admin / systems programmer around 1992.
