There is a utility called pc370, which will allow you to compile
and run 370 assembler on a pc.  It is available from
msdos.archive.umich.edu in archive/msdos/un_indexed/pc370.arc

I looked at it once 2 years ago, but I do know several people who
found helpful when they were learning assembler.  It allowed them
to check their programs before uploading them onto the mainframe.

Any questions about the msdos archives at U of M, should be sent
to PC1_Organizers@um.cc.umich.edu.  A couple of questions that we
get regularly that I can answer right now are:

1) What is your IP number?
   141.211.168.70   But DON'T rely on it.  Our archives have been
                    in a state of transition for the last few
                    months.  We've moved several times and plan
                    to move again (the only question is when and
                    to where).  For purposes of ftp, use the
                    name for reliability.

2) Do you have a mailserver,or could you mail me the program?
   No.  When we find a final resting place, we will set up a
        mail server.  And we (there are only two of us) do not
        have the time to hand mail programs.  Our primary jobs
        sort of get in the way.
