You may want to contact the seller, Buddy Bell, directly at ***@att.net.

I purchased a cd off ebay of Hercules
emulator and installed the myMVS option.

I'm not familiar with that, but there
is much more support available if
you use something more common,
like TK4-, z/OS or MVS/380 (or a
similar range for VM).

If you can explain what you are
trying to achieve, ie why you bought
this CD, we will be in a better position
to direct you.

I used to work on OS390 operating system. I know assembler, rexx, jcl among other things. I would like to see if I can get my skills back.

Any help would be appreciated

Do you want the skills back to get a
job, or just as a hobby?

If you want a job, then it is probably
better to put on your resume that
you have z/OS experience.

To get that, you need to either pay
IBM about US$5000/year for z/PDT
or try to find somewhere to download
a bootleg z/OS ADCD which can run
under Hercules (don't ask me for
the ADCD, I've never even googled it,
nevermind downloaded it).

However, if you don't like those options,
then you can download TK4- or
MVS/380 which, despite having some
old components, have all the things you
mentioned: assembler, rexx, jcl.

Your assembler skills could even be used
to enhance these distributions.

MVS/380 allows you to do 31-bit and
even 64-bit programming. If you don't
have a need for that, then TK4- is the
better distribution and even supports
ftp.

If you want to try either TK4- or
MVS/380 then just say so and someone
will hopefully provide a link (I'm running
an old version of MVS/380 myself, so
I'm not the best person to ask).

Hi,

I think you are getting that error because the path to the Hercules executable hasn't been set.
In the Preferences Dialog box, there are two settings. The first one is for the path to the myMVS directory. The second one is where you set the path for Hercules. When setting this, you have to include the program name, e.g. "C:\path\to\herc_dir\hercules.exe".


The support group is https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/VintageBigBlue/info https://groups.yahoo.com/neo/groups/VintageBigBlue/info.


I hope that helps some.

TK4- MVS 3.8 should run for you "right-out-of-the-box".

Juergen has done a great job packaging and documenting it

Make sure that you run as administrator.

ie Right Click on Hercules and "Run as Administrator"

TK4- MVS 3.8 should run for you "right-out-of-the-box".
