think of Hercules as belonging to the family of virtualizers-hardware emulators ( VMware, Parallels, VirtualBox, ..., ..., ... )
You start VMware, attach a real/virtual cdrom and start the installation of windows, linux, whatever operating system supported
You start hercules, define the appropriate virtual devices with the appropriate disk images of the operating system You are allowed to run
and there You go , You have a mainframe operating system alive and kicking.
unfortunately CICS is not a free product.
