<BR>
If you wish to move off mainframe and onto<BR>
x64 or whatever, why do you still wish to use<BR>
z/VM? Can't you run on Linux/x64 rather than<BR>
do emulation? Running natively is something<BR>
like 70 times faster than on Hercules.<BR>
<BR>
(GCCMVS can rebuild itself on native x64<BR>
in about 1 minute while it takes about 70<BR>
minutes under Hercules - numbers not<BR>
super-accurate as weren't done after a<BR>
fresh reboot).<BR>
<BR>
How many applications do you have on the<BR>
z/VM system currently, and what language<BR>
are they written in, and are they 24-bit,<BR>
31-bit or 64-bit applications? Do you know<BR>
how much memory the biggest application<BR>
uses?<BR>
<BR>
Do you want to migrate the applications from<BR>
Hercules+z/VM to Linux/x64 slowly or all at<BR>
once?<BR>

<BR>
Do you wish to do this legally or illegally? If you<BR>
want to do it legally, there is a trial version of<BR>
z/VM available, but I think it has a time limit of<BR>
3 months or something. Also, if you're already<BR>
running z/VM on mainframe hardware legally,<BR>
you may be able to legally use those same z/VM<BR>
installation tapes to run on Hercules as part<BR>
of a "disaster recovery" test.<BR>

<BR>
Hercules is a freeware product, so you can<BR>
post your questions here or in H390-VM or<BR>
hercules-os380 and you can get random<BR>
free support. Or you can presumably hire<BR>
someone around here as a contractor to<BR>
fix problems.<BR>
