| Way back in the 1970's I had the great opportunity be
involved in computing. At that time there was no such
thing as a personal computer. It was all "Big
Iron", mainframe systems that took up whole rooms.
I have been fortunate to have worked directly with various IBM
360 and 370 systems of different sizes and capabilities.
These systems ran various operating systems including DOS,
DOS/VSE, VS1, MFT, MVT, SVS and the all time greatest, MVS.
Of all the operating systems I have used, I think that MVS
3.8 was the greatest. It was a very powerful system that
would run on a modest size mainframe. Over the years MVS
has been improved, expanded, and renamed but for me 3.8 was
the greatest.
Now I am once again running MVS 3.8 but this time in a
window on my Windows laptop system. This amazing feat is
accomplished through a free software package called Hercules.
My MVS 3.8 WEB Page has documentation for the MVS 3.8
SYS1.PARMLIB parameters that are used to configure MVS.
In addition I have documented the JES2 commands.
