vm370sixpack.zip is missing

[ScottC-3]

http://vmdist.homelinux.org/vm370sixpack.zip
<http://vmdist.homelinux.org/vm370sixpack.zip>  seems to have
disappeared from this site.  Is this temporary or is it recommended to
point to an alternate site?  Specifically, the hercules-os380 project is
referencing this now, bad link.  What is the best link to refer to for
vm370sixpack.zip?

Thanks, Scott

Hello!
I'm not sure I follow you Scott.

What exactly is missing, and who created the original file? Is this the
current version of the Six-Pack less the updates that Dave Wade announced?

If this is the case then I've got everything concerning the Six Pack
available here. I can make arrangements for electronic delivery of these
items to you. For example I can create on my Linux system who has access to
the Internet via the DDNS methods just such an identity and an appropriate
user ID, plus a temporary password.

For that we'd need to discuss this in private. I should also mention that
everything related to the Hercules project since the beginning of this year
is also available. Including some rarely found items concerning one
individual based originally in Germany created.

He's a former member, should you be curious I suggest you search (try to
search?) the group message lists for the term "copy left" anyway he didn't
like my appropriately handled method behind the group. And naturally Fish
galled him into acting inappropriately. (Yes Fish I know you did do that,
and I'm not at all annoyed, it was perfectly fitting.) He made the mistake
of daring me to throw him out and I did.

It concerned his rights or lack of them to use Hercules to run the things he
was given as a member of the mainframe side of the IBM Partnerworld side of
things. I won't go into details regarding the licensing and distribution of
those materials, such that we both know that it would not be a good idea to
use Hercules to run that stuff, never mind it can do that and better.

I simply suggested that it would not be a good idea to do so and to announce
it here. Reason being is that we've got trolls here or in the regular
Hercules group from IBM Legal and they read the message traffic.

And there you go. Further discussions for that issue, were then and are now
closed, but that's how the stuff arrived here. (Via one of the FTP sites
that routinely gets mentioned in passing.)

Sorry about that.

Missing is vm370sixpack-1_0.zip from http://vmdist.homelinux.org
<http://vmdist.homelinux.org/>  which I believed to be the home (base)
location.
Not sure who created the original file.

I believe so.

This is not necessary.

I know of 2 other places to download vm370sixpack-1_0.zip.  I just
thought http://vmdist.homelinux.org <http://vmdist.homelinux.org/>  was
the official location.

http://www.josefsipek.net/mirrors/vm370/vm370sixpack-1_0.zip
<http://www.josefsipek.net/mirrors/vm370/vm370sixpack-1_0.zip>

http://www.open-bpm.org/index.php/mainframes.html?file=tl_files/download\
s/hercules/vm370sixpack-1_0.zip
<http://www.open-bpm.org/index.php/mainframes.html?file=tl_files/downloa\
ds/hercules/vm370sixpack-1_0.zip>  - Need to be logged in to this site
to download.

Just a clarification was requested as to which site is the "official"
source, if there is one.

Thanks, Scott
