Volker Bandke
Feb 18, 2001
It has happened again: A new Version of Hercules for Windows is available. As
usual, you can download it from our website. This time there actually ARE two
different versions of Hercules, one for Pentium processors, and one for Pentium
Pro processors. Please also check the new documentation on building the
Hercules Windows system
http:/www.bsp-gmbh.com/hercules/hercwin212_pentium.exe compiled for Pentium
processors
http:/www.bsp-gmbh.com/hercules/hercwin212_pentiumpro.exe compiled for Pentium
Pro Processors
Note: The procedure to build Hercules for various processors has changed
(again). Please check the new docs at
http:/www.bsp-gmbh.com/hercules/nude_w32.html

The release strategy for Hercules is in a bit of flux at the moment. We're
in the process of changing to using CVS to allow many developers to work on
the code at the same time and keep things straight. Once CVS is set up,
we'll produce a final 2.12 release, and that will be available - in both
Windows and Linux versions - at the Hercules page on conmicro.cx. I'm
planning on doing all this before I go off to SHARE next week.

New Hercwin Version (2.12k)
Volker Bandke
Mar 5, 2001
Hello fellow Herakles jugglers,
I have heard that some people have problems ipling that obscure OS called VM
<g>. I cannot test it here, but I have followed the new patches going into the
LINUX version. I decided to compile them into the current Hercwin system even
when there is no real new Version around, not even a release, just a new
modification level.
Those of you that want to try to IPL VM under hercules/windows (or who just feel
they always need the latest version of things) might want to go to
http://www.bsp-gmbh.com/hercules/nude_w32.html
for download information

Absent any lack of appreciation for your work, I would query: can you
reveal exactly what has been changed, or what we can expect to work
differenly / better or at all now?
a) powerdown diagnose issue?
b) 9336 emulation problem?
c) lack of ability to dasdinit a 9336?
d) reader problem?
e) loadparm problem?
f) multi-cpu problem?
g) interval timing problems?
h) something I have forgotten or not noticed?
One other question is, I tried the other day (with 2.12b) to set a
memory limit of 256MB, but I beleive 2.12b would not tollerate a
setting in excesso f 128MB. Is this a compile time setting?
If so, what has the "k" version been compiled with pursuant to that
setting?

Stuart,
as I mentioned - I cannot test it here, which means, I cannot tell you either.
Simple enough. Therefore, if you want to know which things are fixed (if any),
go ahead and download. There was a gazillion of small fixes, which, as I
recall, mostly related to VM stuff, which I am totally ignorant about

Good God, Stuart, you don't want much, do you? Given time, I'm sure
you can come up with something for item (h)

Ahhh! I knew you could do it ;-)
Seriously though, the idea of this being an open source project is so
that people can take the code away and tinker about with it
themselves to make it do what they want. If they come up with any
useful changes, they can, if they wish, feed them back to the
maintainer. Alternatively, if people just want to use the software
as it stands, then this is fine too. But if you want someone else to
research and/or fix all of those problems for you, you really need to
think about whether a commercially supported product might be what
you want. Why do you think FSI and UMX charge a lot of money for
their products?
