Hi, I am still not sure why anybody would want to run an IBM operating system on a PC.
The only possible reason is "Commercial Software" written for the IBM operating System , that you want to port to a PC platform but these days, the same "Commercial Software" on a mainframe, is available for the small/midsize platforms. So my conclusion with all these simulators/Hercules etc is that it is because we have a lot of bored and confused MVS/zOs System programmers that wants to make the whole world speak IBM. Note: Did you see the IBM adverts between all the College Football/US open tennis this weekend ? Did you see what they are trying to sell you .. Nothing to do with mainframes, mainframe operating systems etc. Anton -----Original Message----- From: IBM Mainframe Discussion List [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Rafa Pereira Sent: Tuesday, September 04, 2007 9:24 AM To: IBM-MAIN@BAMA.UA.EDU Subject: 1401 simulator for OS/360 Hi all, Maybe off topic but some of you my be interested in this: I have done some tests with the 1401 simulator for OS/360 by William Wilcox, on Hercules: http://perso.wanadoo.es/rptv2005/ibm1401/en/sim1401.html I have never worked with 1401 or OS/360, so comments and corrections are welcome.
