Hello there, i am a CS graduate. in the year 1995. and i have never worked on any computer other than IBM. Recently (a few weeks ago) I downloaded an emulator, called as hercules. for s/390 and s/370 and z/architecture type of IBM mainframe machines. till here with me. Now, the problem begins. what the documents i downloaded along with the hercules emulator and the TN3270 client. I can not make head and tail out of it. There are certain commands that I understand and can replicate on the hercules. but others. like i think i need to allocate storage to make any other headway. But, what to do, zilch. HLAS kind of thing is not running but a certain kind of scripts specialty that r 204 kind of command works. but, they are like core dumps. what to do with them. hahahaha. I am not on a deadline. so, you can relax. but, do help. I kind of think that I can understand any device. I can send some info. But what kind of info are you looking for? i can not understand that....
