Can anyone ping me the details of simulator?
Can you explain what you mean by this? The normal definition of ping that I use has no apparent relevance to your statement:
Quote:
Ping is a computer network administration utility used to test whether a particular host is reachable across an Internet Protocol (IP) network and to measure the round-trip time for packets sent from the local host to a destination computer, including the local host's own interfaces.

The way I understand it - Ping is totally wrong in this context, but unless 'am mistaken (and being from non-english back ground helps here) - he wants to send him the set-up files to install some simulator, e.g. a "set-up file", which might be needed to install hercules and then some more to make that working on his PC.

Hello,

If he can get to the forum there must be internet connectivity, so this confuses me:

I mean how to install on desktop computer without internet.
Actually, i've not seen a pc that did not have internet access for a very long time.

Possibly, there is something i misunderstand.

If You can post You have internet connectivity...
download all the needed files from the PC connected
transfer all the downloaded files to a USB key or burn a CD

and use the USB key or the CD to install on the unconnected PC

Hi All,

I am very sorry. The Ping means 'revert with information'.

I have installed hercules on my desktop but when I click on hercules logo available on desktop it opens in cmd prompt and shows some time and other fields. I know mainframe completely but I don't know how to use hercules. Can anyone please guide me how to use hercules and how can I see mainframe screens on my sytem?

Is any frontend need to use for accessing herculus from cmd prompt?

I am new please guide me all.

Thanks & Regards,]
Mohan N.

You don't "install something on Desktop"! icon_confused.gif. After installation, you got to see the "icon" on desktop - but that is not enough for your Heculeus emulator to work; it's just an interface to the "other world". Please read the documentation Peter has pointed to. You can also look here, www.jaymoseley.com/hercules/install.htm.

Installing Hercules merely installs the emulator. You also need an operating system and applications to execute.

Hi Anuj,

Interesting. . . All of the 3270 eumlators i see any more connect via tcp/ip - which is the internet protocol (been a very long time since i've seen a 3270 twisted-pair connection<g>).

If these systems cannot "go out on the internet", i suspect it is because the management does not want this rather than a limitation on the pc. Bummer.

That's correct, I'd also say that's a poor management but some managers have different views on this ...icon_smile.gif
