## SYNOPSIS

**hercules** \[**-f** *config-file\]*

## DESCRIPTION

*This manual page documents briefly the*  **hercules** program.

This manual page was written for the **Debian GNU/Linux** distribution  because the original program does not have a manual page.  Instead, it has documentation in HTML format; see below.

**Hercules** is an open source  software implementation of the mainframe System/370 and ESA/390  architectures, in addition to the new 64-bit z/Architecure.  Hercules runs under Linux, Windows 98, Windows NT, and Windows  2000.

## OPTIONS

- **-f**

  Use a config file other than  **/etc/hercules/hercules.cnf**

## SEE ALSO

The programs are documented fully by *The Hercules*  *System/370, ESA/390, and z/Architecture Emulator* 	available in  **/usr/share/doc/hercules/html**.

## AUTHOR

Hercules was created by Roger Bowler and is maintained by  Jay Maynard. Jan Jaeger designed and implemented many of the  advanced features of Hercules, including dynamic  reconfiguration, integrated console, interpretive execution, and  z/Architecture support.
