Get my 3270, show VM/370. As an MVS/DB2 guy, not sure what to do next. Any CMS tutorial for this Hercules based VM/370 I wonder. (The MVS side is easier for me and even can do some old time compliation of ISPF ...)

You can check in the vm370.org website. They publish the VM/370 Community Edition (which is a lot like the one I packed - the CE version is rbanffy/vm370ce on the command line). I'm still very much a newbie on this.

  running last 2 days and get my fortran compiled etc. Just whenever I logoff and quit the emulator, all are lost!!! Just double check, logoff will keep the files. But as there is no way to shutdown the terminal system it seems, I just quit and all are lost. I did download my files one by one to my pc using Tom. I will look at the vm 370 but wonder whether it will be too hard, as there is no setup like tk5 and like your docker. Yours seems just one command away (and change the port to non-3270 to avoid conflict with my mvs.) And tk5 just run. I do not know how even to start the vm 370 community edition after download!

    You’d need to restart the container rather than running it again from scratch for the state changes to stick. I'm thinking about modifying the shadow disk setup (the base disk is immutable and only the shadow file is changed) to make the shadow folder persistent, but that'd be better done at the cluster management level.

MVS TK5 has (a clone of) ISPF built in. https://www.prince-webdesign.nl/tk5 https://www.prince-webdesign.nl/tk5

  Whilst still not able to get a permanent copy, but VM/370 got not as good but ok "ee" full screen editor plus an interactive file list manager. I develop program faster than MVS 3.8 actually.

    Oh... I have used EDIT. It's actually fun to see the patterns of editors evolving from line-based editors to modal full screen ones, to non-modal full-screen.
