To get the latest sources on hercules, you should now use SVN :

svn co svn://svn.hercules-390.org/hercules/trunk hercules

Alternatively, should Jay’s site have an issues, you may get a mirror copy at :

svn://svn.ivansoftware.com

Also, for those willing to closely follow hercules development, I have set up a SVN browsing service at :

http://www.ivansoftware.com/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/

Enjoy !

I made a couple enhancement tweaks to hercules today.

One of the instructions – MVCLE -a memory copy instruction – was taking an inordinate amount of time to perform what it is intended to do.

After a quick study of the code, it came out that not only wasn’t the code ‘optimal’, but it was also somewhat wrong.

A quick fix later, and that particular instruction is now up to 250x faster than it was before.

Nifty !
