Hercules is an open source software implementation of the mainframe
|
|
System/370 and ESA/390 architectures, in addition to the new 64-bit
|
|
z/Architecture.

<p>
|
|
Hercules was created by Roger Bowler and is maintained by Jay Maynard.

The CVS version
|
|
</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
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 href="http://home.sprintmail.com/~dtrout/Hercules/index.html">Windows GUI</a>
|
|
front end (HercGUI).
|
|
|
|

No password is required; just press enter when asked:

</tt>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please note that this will get you the current
|
|
<i>development</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.
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Read the file <tt>README.CVS</tt> for additional and updated
|
|
instructions for building the development version.

<em>“
|
|
Never in my wildest dreams did I expect to see MVS
|
|
running on a machine that I personally own.
|
|
Hercules is a marvelous tool. My thanks to you all for a job
|
|
very well done.

<em>“
|
|
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!

I have installed your absolutely fantastic /390 emulator.
|
|
You won't believe what I felt when I saw the prompt.
|
|
Congratulations, this is a terrific software.
|
|
I really have not had such a fascinating and interesting
|
|
time on my PC lately.

An apparently excellent emulator that allows those open source
|
|
developers with an "itch to scratch", to come to the S/390 table
|
|
and contribute.

BTW grab a copy of Hercules and you can test it at home.
|
|
It's a very good S/390 and zSeries (S/390 64bit) emulator..
