- skissane 2y agozPDT (which also goes by a few other names, including ZD&T, RDz-I think they are all essentially the same software just with somewhat different licensing) let you legally run z/OS under emulation. While it is intended to use with IBM’s emulator, maybe you can use Hercules instead-you’d have to check the fine print. But the problem with those products, is they cost approximately US$5000 a year - beyond the means of all but the most dedicated hobbyist At one point there was a “ZD&T Learners Edition”, which was only US$120 a year-much more reasonable. The problem is (1) it was only ever available to people in the US, which excludes many people (including me), (2) I am led to believe it has been discontinued and is no longer available
- kotaKat 2y agoI wanted to poke around ZD&T Learners Edition but I was slightly annoyed that I couldn't just pick it up and self-explore, IBM wanted me to "prove" myself with challenges or professional experience. Hercules it is for me...
