Hercules is not s/370.       Hercules is not s/390. Hercules is not z/Arch. When you monkey around with       hercules, all you are doing is        changing the way the hercules VM executes. You are not in the least changing       anything about the way IBM does/did it, nor are you changing the specs for an       IBM architecture.              So, if you want to say it's possible to create a modified hercules, then sure.       But thats all it is, a modified hercules.              "Hercules is compliant with IBM's ALS-1, ALS-2 and ALS-3 architectural level       sets to the degree necessary to run all OS/390 versions through 2.10 and known       versions of z/OS in both ARCHLVL 1 and ARCHLVL 2 mode, and Linux and z/VM in       both ESA/390 and z/       Architecture mode."              Joe              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
