Just stumbled upon this item. Never thought IMS would be available.
I am one of those old guys who kept IMS/DB up to date with source 
updates. I am very interested! 
Actually I just downloaded the Hercules 3.07 distribution, to start
another attempt to load MVT or MVS on my systems. With IMS/DB as
a target I have a more distinct goal. Gee that would be fun!
