## About

**Hercules** is an open source software implementation of the mainframe System/370 and ESA/390 architectures, in addition to the latest 64-bit z/Architecture. Hercules runs under Linux, Windows, Solaris, FreeBSD, and Mac OS X.

Hercules is [OSI Certified Open Source Software](http://www.opensource.org/) licensed under the terms of the [Q Public Licence](http://sdl-hercules-390.github.io/html/herclic.html).

SDL Hercules 4.x Hyperion is a version of Hercules containing fixes made by the Hercules development team as well as by others to fix bugs which may still exist in the 3.x and 4.0 versions of Hercules, as well as enhancements and improvements to the emulator's overall functionality above and beyond what may have been provided in earlier versions. It is currently the only actively maintained version and is considered an official version of the Hercules-390 emulator.

Hercules was created by Roger Bowler.

Jay Maynard "the Tron Guy" was the maintainer from 2000 to 2012.

Jan Jaeger designed and implemented many of the advanced features of Hercules, including dynamic reconfiguration, integrated console, interpretive execution and z/Architecture support.
