Is it legal to run z/OS on Herc?  I didn't think it was.

Hmmm... looks vaguely familiar.  <g,d & r>

I admit to being curious and did sign up for a userid a couple of years ago I
think.   If you want to logon to a real z/OS system and see what TSO and
ISPF look like it's certainly good for that.   I didn't try to do much else.  
I'd imagine since it is an ADCD system you could compile and run cobol
and other programs that access files with your own HLQ.

Can you FTP from/to  it or use IND$FILE?  Never tried either.
