Hercules Assistance - (Was getting XCFAS down)

2020-10-18 Thread Lizette Koehler
If you have not done so, there are several groups you may be interested in

Other Mainframe groups (Hercules-390,hercules-os380,H390-MVS, VM, VSE) went to 
Groups.io which has a free basic service; but you would have to pay for the 
premium service.

Some are on Yahoo Groups, some Listserver, etc

Hope this helps.

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
