Your Private Mainframe

        
The 'Big Irons' aka IBM Mainframes and their operating
        systems still make the world go round.

        
Now you can have your own, private mainframe computer
        at home. On your PC. Enjoy the power of MVS, MVT, or VM
        on your Linux or Windows Desktop/Notebook. Thanks to
        Hercules it's possible now. 

        
Running these old operating systems is fun! But you
        can also learn a lot about those systems. And the best
        thing is that you don't have to be a system guru to get
        it working. 

        
On this website you find materials on MVS and MVT (well,
        after I got MVS running I dropped MVT for the moment, so
        that area will probably not grow much). Over the time I
        hope to add some more software, tutorials and samples.

About This Website

        
This website is optimized for MS Internet Explorer and
        Netscape Navigator Version 4 or higher. The recommended
        minimum resolution/window size is 800x600 pixel and 16
        bit color. Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) are used. As of
        current, no 'cookies' are used. You'll find a few uses of
        JavaScript, but that's only for the fancy things (like
        mouseover effects), so it should not cause any problems
        if you've turned it off in your browser. 

        
Your Privacy

        
Aside from the normal server log files, no information
        about visitors is collected on this site. The MVS binary
        download is password protected to keep control of the
        bandwidth used only. If you contribute, please tell me if
        you want your name/email/web address posted. Links to
        other web sites are not under my control and different
        privacy rules may apply. All external links in this
        website will open in a separate browser window (unless
        your browser doesn't support it).
