[hercules-390] Eeny, meeny, miny, moe ... pick a Hercules edition

[[e-mail] [hercules-390]]

I'm about to set up Hercules on a new (Raspberry Pi 3) system to host the VM Six pack.

I can:
Install the apt-get package (3.12-1)
Build latest spinhawk from github Build latest hyperion from github
Take completely off-the-wall suggestions from the audience
How old IS the 3.12 package? (i.e. when was the source snapshotted for it?)


Suggestions?


I'm aware of the one-line descriptions of both spinhawk and hyperion, but I don't have clue as to what differentiate them that I care as a mortal user.

If you would like to run applications that use
more than 16 MiB of memory, you may be
interested in Hercules/380 or Hercules/381.

Also if you wish to use 64-bit registers and
64-bit instructions, and memory above
2 GiB, try Hercules/380.

The current release is 3.1.3 was released late September 2017. Last commit to spinhawk was sept 24. I tried Hyperion about a month ago but switched back to 3.1.3 can't remember why I switched back.

HTC phone has arm chip and you might be able to get one cheaper than a raspberry.  I was able to run a hello world C program on it that was built with gcc-arm cross compiler.

You won't go wrong with 3.12. There are some minor fixes own 3.13, but
nothing to give you a major headache...
