"archie pc370" will produce a list of sites which archive the pc370 source.  I
believe that the last version was 4.2 before selling out to Microfocus to
support their Cobol cross compile effort on the PC.  I do not believe the
source has ever been distributed.  The assembler was patterned after a stand
alone tool which was used to teach assembly stand alone, and as such is
rather limited.  Also, the capability to intertwine 286 and 370 code was
added which might make the usefulness for cross support on actual 370s
somewhat limited.  

The code may be exported to VM very easily from the pc370 version 4.2, but
it uses an SVC 76 or such for most of its os support.  I am not familiar
with MVS coding, but it probably needs much more to be really useful.  This
still misses the original posters desire to be able to run on an HP.
