    Welcome to the z390 portable mainframe macro assembler and emulator project web site.
    z390 is a Java J2SE Open Source tool with the following major features:
      • Use z390 graphical user interface or command line interface
      • Use simple commands to assemble, link, and execute programs
        • Type  ASMLG demo\DEMO to assemble and execute demo.mlc
      • z390 program user interfaces include
        • MCS console interface WTO and WTOR
        • TN3270 full screen interface using:
          • TGET and TPUT macro interface
          • EXEC CICSSEND and RECEIVE commands
        • Sequential and random file access using EBCDIC or ASCII
      • Macro assembler mz390 is compatible with HLASM including:
        • All source code for programs and macros in ASCII
        • Structured macros – IF, ELSEIF, ENDIF, DO, ENDDO
        • Common OS macros including:
