It's taken me until this morning, as this thread continues, to realize that maybe I don't know what Hercules does after all. "Mainframe emulation", I'd always heard, and supposed that meant that if I install Hercules on a PC I'll be able to write REXX execs, write and submit JCL, create PDSs and GDGs etc - in other words, that Hercules emulates MVS. But if it doesn't emulate the mainframe operating system, what ~does~ it do?

When a man is getting worse, he understands his own badness less and less. A moderately bad man knows he is not very good; a thoroughly bad man thinks he is all right. This is common sense, really. You understand sleep when you are awake, not while you are sleeping. You can see mistakes in arithmetic when your mind is working properly; while you are making them you cannot see them. You can understand the nature of drunkenness when you are sober, not when you are drunk.
