mvs38j

This runs the TK4- distribution of MVS 3.8J inside Docker.

All credit belongs to Juergen Winkelmann for creating TK4-, Volker Bande for creating TK3, the Hercules team for creating Hercules, IBM for creating MVS, etc. - all I did was package it into a Docker container.

Running it

./start
docker logs mvs38j

Now wait until startup message is displayed:
