PREFACE: What this guide is about.
|
|
This was written to help Hackers learn to basics of how to function on an
|
|
IBM VM/370. Not as a guide on how to get in, but on how to use it one
|
|
you have gotten in.
|
|
Comments on this are welcome at RIPCO 312-528-5020.
|
|
Note: To VM/370 Hackers, feel free to add to this file, just give myself
|
|
& Lunatic Labs credit for our parts.

|
PART 1: Logging in & out
|
|
When you connect to a VM/370 system hit RETURN till you see:
|
|
|
|
VM/370
|
|
!
|
|
|
|
To logon you type:
|
|
logon userid ('logon' may be abbreviated to 'l')
|
|
If you enter an invalid userid, It will respond with a message:
|
|
'userid not in cp directory'.
|
|
If it is valid you with get:
|
|
ENTER PASSWORD:
|
|
Enter your password, then your in, hopefully....
|
|
|
|
Logging Out:
|
|
Type:
|
|
log
|
|
|
|
PART 2: Loading CMS & Getting set up
|
|
When you logon, if you do not see the message 'VM/SP CMS - (date) (time)
|
|
you will need to load 'CMS' (CMS in a command interpreter).
|
|
Type:
|
|
cp ipl cms
|
|
You should then see something like this:
|
|
R; T=0.01/0.01 08:05:50
|
|
|
|
Now you will be able to use both CP & CMS commands...
|
|
Some system my think you are using an IBM 3270 Terminal, if you can
|
|
emulate a 3270 (for example with Crosstalk) do so, if not type:
|
|
set terminal typewriter or set terminal dumb
|
|
|
|
PART 3: Files
|
|
You can list your files by typing:
|
|
filelist
|
|
|
|
Wildcards can be used, so:
|
|
filelist t*
|
|
list all files beginning with a 't'.
|
|
Filenames are made up of a FILENAME and FILETYPE
|
|
|
|
You can list a file by typing:
|
|
listfile filename filetype
|
|
|
|
Other file commands are: copyfile, erase, and rename, they all work with
|
|
FILENAME FILETYPE.
|
|
|
|
PART 4: Editing your files
|
|
I'm going to keep this down to the basics and only discuss one editor
|
|
XEDIT. To use XEDIT type:
|
|
xedit filename filetype
|
|
Once in XEDIT, enter the command 'input' to enter text, hit a RETURN on
|
|
a blank line to return to command mode, then enter the command 'FILE' to
|
|
save your file.
|
|
|
|
PART 5: Communicating with others on the system
|
|
Sending & receiving 'NOTES':
|
|
To send a 'NOTE' to another user type:
|
|
note userid
|
|
|
|
You will then be in the XEDIT subsystem, see PART 4.
|
|
Once you are done writing your NOTE, save the file and type:
|
|
send note
|
|
|
|
This will send the NOTE to userid.
|
|
You can also use the SEND command to send other files by typing:
|
|
send filename filetype userid.
|
|
|
|
Sending messages:
|
|
You can use the TELL command to communicate with a user who is current
|
|
logged on, type:
|
|
tell userid Help me!
|
|
|
|
PART 6: Getting Help
|
|
Type:
|
|
help
|
|
|
|
That's it, good luck.
