1.8 Legal Advice

Hercules implements only the raw S/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture instruction set, it does not provide
any operating system facilities. This means that you need to provide an operating system or standalone
program which Hercules can load from an emulated disk or tape device. You will have to write the opera-
ting system or standalone program yourself unless you possess a license from IBM to run one of their
operating systems on your PC or use IBM programs and operating systems which have been placed in
the public domain.

NOTE: It is YOUR responsibility to comply with the terms of the license for the operating system
you intend to run on the Hercules Emulator.

1.10 Acknowledgements

The Hercules manuals would not have been possible without the assistance of many people and I would
like to thank all those who helped me. In particular I would like to thank:

The Hercules developers for their documentation on various websites from which I derived a
great deal of information. Roger Bowler and Fish for proof-reading the manuals. Loris Degoianni for allowing me to use parts of the original WinPcap documentation. Tom Brennan for allowing me to use parts of his Vista tn3270 documentation. My colleagues for working with early previews of the documentation, beginning with just a few
pages. Mike Cairns for reviewing and editing the manuals. Robert Allan for providing the “Linux Installation” part. Lutz Mader for providing the “Mac OS X Installation” part.

If anyone feels they have been forgotten on this list please let me know.
