There is also a 390 mainframe assembler and emulator called z390:
http://www.automatedsoftwaretools.com/z390/


This is written in Java and runs under Windows, Linux and probably any
other system which has a Java runtime.


Dragging the subject back on topic: this would be ideal for anyone
who wants to write a compiler which generates 390 assembler
code and who doesn't have access to a real mainframe!

[I gather the impetus for both 360 interpreters and for the 1980s
360 coprocessors for PCs was because mainframe debugging time was
very expensive and even with extra hardware, it was a lot
cheaper debugging on PCs. -John]
