I used to work as a mainframe COBOL/CICS programer for a bank from 1989 to 1996-97, and then I was moved to develop web applications using perl and later on Java. Now I'm retired as I was forced into retirement early 2013 when I was nearly 61 years old. In the end, I was never able to find another job after trying to find one for almost 18 months. In 2013, I built my own Intel gaming PC, and in 2022, I upgraded my gaming PC to use AMD cpu and 32 GB of RAM. I hope to re-learn some my mainframe skill as I will try to use your tutorials on MVS 3.8. Thank you. 🤔
Hi Matt, I have really enjoyed this set of tutorials and was able to follow the bouncing ball to get a full emulated system up and running. Great videos and explanations around Hercules and variations to config files for improvements. Well done.
I like the ending in Jay's MvS install: Customizing your new MVS 3.8 system [this step can be completed in approximately 25 minutes] Personally i would say: 25 years (at least if it the first time, for someone who did it professionally over a time of say 20 years at different versions ... they are probably done in about a day because they know what they want.)

Great start! I think your Linux-centric tutorial is a great addition to the MVS tutorial of Jay!
Thanks! Glad you like it so far.
Nice Matthew! As soon as I have time I think I’m gonna follow your lead. Thanks!
What Debian 10 shell terminal software package are you using (I like it a lot) - thanks for making these vids!
Do you have a video to install all the stuff in MS Windows OS? Thanks.
I strongly approve of removing unneeded cruft
cannot find the download links page: object not found (en français)
Excellent! Thanks!
Not related to the MVS build but... could you share your .screenrc? :D
Sure! I don't have that exact one anymore, but this one is close: paste.sr.ht/~racingmars/034ad89fd1f0460f1769fb71e73cbc4d566b84de
Jay's link to the mvs38bas.zip is no longer at Yahoo after the great undoing. Do you have an alternate location?
www.bsp-gmbh.com/turnkey/cookbook/pdf/mvs38bas.pdf I believe it is the same.
The original zip had it in txt format instead of PDF.
