These IBM370 tools are a collection of free software I have collected together and pre-configured with some scripts to allow them to be easily used.
These tools are intended to allow a relative beginner to compile simple programs that will compile to multiple 6809 destination systems.
Execution occurs via the HERCULES emulator via batch files (found in \Utils).... and a copy of Notepad++ is provided for code editing
My configuration for Hercules was based on the documentation here
Code can be easily assembled via Notepad++ by pressing F6 to use NppExec, and selecting one of the destinations... the appropriate batch file will be executed building the program, and the emulator started
The lesson.asm files should be assembled with the Hercules Job BasicHeadFoot which will attach a header and footer with some functions... this will also start the server!
If you have your own complete JOB file, just use Hercules Job, It will not attach any header or footer!
The Server Start will use a sendkeys script, so please don't touch the keyboard or mouse while it's running!
Extract the files from the archive into a folder on your machine - you need to preserve the directory structure
To start run "Vdrive.bat" this will create a virtual V drive on your machine... if V is in use, W or X will be used.
From that V drive use "Notepad++" to edit
when you are done use "Vdrive-remove" to remove the V drive
Please see my Youtube channel for my lessons using these tools
