Roger Bowler's Hercules Page
Ever since I saw my first IBM mainframe (a 360/30 at Charter Consolidated in Ashford, Kent in about 1970),
it has been my dream to own and operate a real computer.
Hercules graphical user interface for Windows
is a standard Windows program that makes using the Hercules emulator much easier and more enjoyable.
Fish (David B Trout) created the massively popular graphical front end for Hercules under Windows.
