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. Bertram Moshier
