Hercules and Tur(n)key Installation
My assumption for this documentation is that the reader doesn’t know anything about how to install a software or have a little experience about it. If you are an advanced user, you may skip some of the process (You know who you are and you already know what to do.☺).
NEEDED: You can download these files by pointing the mouse on them and follow the pop up instruction.
1. hercules-3.05-native.msi
2. HercGUI and startterm.bat
3. vcredist_x86.exe
4. FishLib-2.7.1.564-bin.zip
5. MVS Tur(n)key
Note: Some files above were made into installers(for simplicity puroses):
1. HercGUI and startterm.bat
2. FishLib-2.7.1.564-bin.zip
3. MVS Tur(n)key
From the CD follow the wizard:
1. Install ‘hercules-3.05-native.msi’.
2. Install ‘HercGUI_startterm.exe’.
3. Install ‘vcredist_x86.exe’.
4. Install ‘FISH.exe’.
5. Install ‘Turnkey_mvs38j_installer.exe’.
For Administrator:
A freeware version of Mochasoft terminal emulator is available here but not on Mochasoft website (because their file is broken.. ).
1. Extract ‘m3tn3270.zip’ to your favorite folder, e.g. folder.
2. Run ‘SETUP.EXE’. Click ‘NEXT’
3. It will ask for an upgrade to Mocha W32 TN3270, click ‘OK’
4. Click Yes to accept the agreement
5. Click ‘Install’.
6. You’re done. You can click ‘View README file’ or ‘Ok’ to close.
For Administrator and User:
1. Click ‘Mocha TN3270’ shortcut.
2. Click the connecting icon just below the ‘File’ menu or click ‘File’ then choose ‘Connect...’.
3. Then type in the Host the IP address of the server where ‘Hercules’ is installed.
4. Type in the port ‘3270’.
5. Click ‘OK’.
Note: You can only open one terminal, opening at least two terminals are nearly improbable.
You’re done ☺.
