[Chicago] IBM Assembler - was Re: Free Essential Reference Books

[Samir Faci]

NIU by any chance?

hercules is the only mainframe emulator that I know of.. which
required you to have the obscure installation disc and be able to
install a mainframe OS.  If this was purely cobol, I would direct you
to opencobol... but for mainframe ASM.. I'm a bit rusty on.

I do have my old notes and ppt that were supposed to enlighten us as
to the ways of mainframes.. and big blue, which you're welcome to if
you'd like.  But I'm not motivated enough to decipher how my old code
worked/didn't work from 5+ years ago.
