The complete source code for the current <i>development</i> version of

Hercules is also available via anonymous access from our cvs source code
|
|
|
|

repository. The cvs root is

<b>CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.conmicro.cx:/usr/cvs/hercules</b>. Doing a
|
|
|
|
|
checkout on module "hercules" will get you the source for all of Hercules,
|
|
|
|

and checking out "wingui" will get you the complete source for the <a

Please note that this will get you the current
|
|
|
|
|
<i><u>development</u></i> version of Hercules, which is <i>not</i>
|
|
|
|
|
release quality and thus might not even work (since it's still under
|
|
|
|
|
development). If you want the current, stable, <i>release</i> version
|
|
|
|
|
of Hercules (i.e. one that is known to work properly), then use the
|
|
|
|
|
previously mentioned links instead.

Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see OS

Hercules is a marvelous tool. My thanks to you all for a job

very well done.

I do miss my mainframe a lot, and playing with Herc sure brings back
|
|
|
|
|
memories. Just seeing the IBM message prefixes, and responding to
|
|
|
|
|
console messages again was a wonderful bit of nostalgia!
