I develop SATK on Linux. Have not used Windows since
about 2003. I have at this late date no idea how SATK
is used on Windows. I know a few users do use it on
Windows.

Suggestions from Windows users are particularly desirable
and any contributions for this environment would be
appreciated.

When I find time (HA!) I will try to write up how I myself do it via Visual Studio.

Thanks and Happy Bare-Metal'ing,

I always do. :)

Thank you for all of your effort on SATK over the years, Harold!

Much appreciated, buddy!


p.s. You still have some open GitHub Issues, some (most?) of which can probably be closed:

The new subscriptions to the group seems to have subsided, so I thought
a status would be helpful.

ASMA, a mainframe assembler supporting all platforms, old and new, with
a full battery of macro tools familiar to most mainframe assembler
programmers no longer has any issues with Python versions.  Python
changed some internal processing that needed accommodation within ASMA.

IPLASMA, the tool that creates an IPL capable medium acceptable to
Hercules is now functioning.  Still working on device support and
refinements.

A new SATK manual is available, doc/Guide.pdf.  It illustrates creating
a simple bare-metal program using ASMA and then creating an IPL capable
DASD volume.  This is new and intended to bring together the many
elements required to use SATK that may be a labyrinth for the new user.
 Samples are in samples/guide for each program.  They have all been
tested with what exists in the sample directory.  Your input on this is
would be appreciated.  Plans are to continue expansion of this manual.

Also, some Hercules documentation has been added to the doc/herc
directory.

I develop SATK on Linux.  Have not used Windows since about 2003.  I
have at this late date no idea how SATK is used on Windows.  I know a
few users do use it on Windows.  Suggestions from Windows users are
particularly desirable and any contributions for this environment would
be appreciated.

The main groups.io page has a link to SATK on github.  Use github to
report problems, issues, etc. or this group.  Either will get to me.
