This was something I thought would be interesting to do. However… surprise… people have already done this. Like years ago. I also found a interesting YouTube video, where the guy goes through this process for TK4. It is a good video. And I learned you can change your TK4 password at signon. Cool. He explains …

Uploaded short video on TK5
Uploaded short (< 2min) video on TK5 on YouTube. Simply because it’s been out over 2 months, and I see absolutely nothing about it, on YouTube.

MVS & DOS/VS screenshot
Running under VM/370 CE at the same time. Full consoles. Notice the different style 3270 MVS console. You can see compile/link/go on both consoles. The screenshot would be better if I didn’t use model 5 (wide) terminals for DOS/VS. Model 5 really only makes sense for the TK4- screen. You know where you might want …
maketape…part of Hercules 4.x Hyperion
Interesting. Didn’t realize this till today. Certainly a utility I’ve use alot. I recently uploaded a YouTube video using it on a different emulator…simh. I guess you don’t use it on an emulator. You use it for an emulator.

Submit Jobs to DOS/VS by the Hercules socket reader

My COBOL compile REXX exec works!
Now that I solved my DOS/VS JCL reclen & REXX problem, I successfully created my COBOL compile REXX exec, that wraps the JCL around the COBOL source and submits it to DOS/VS. I never liked storing the compile JCL with the source. The COBOL source library should only be source, IMHO. With this program working, …
