All ASSIST instructions were added to z390 at the request of NIU for use in teaching assembler class. Here is the page you can find via Google "z390 assist":
http://www.z390.org/z390_ASSIST_Support.htm You can download InstallShield version of z390 here for Windows (zip for Linux and Apple OSX also available): http://www.z390.org/#Download_Links Once you have successfully installed z390, you can use GUI interface or command line interface to assemble, link, and execute assist assembler programs using ASSIST.BAT command with the name of ascii assist assembler source files. For example run the assist regression test in the z390\assist directory with the command: z390>ASSIST assist\TESTAST1 Hercules is a hardware emulator which emulates of entire OS such as MVS 3.8 as well as HLASM assembler for 3.8. z390 uses J2SE Java 1.6+ running under host OS (Windows, Linux, Apple OSX) to run java based assembler, linker, and emulator for execution of problem state z/Architecture 32 and 64 bit instructions including HFP, BFP, and DFP. SVC support is included via common MVS type common system macros such as WTO, BSAM, QSAM, and limited VSAM support.
