Issue

Does PASSPORT provide support for macros developed with Attachmate EXTRA!®?

Solution

Rocket Software has developed a software program that converts Attachmate EXTRA!® macros from the proprietary Attachmate format into standard Visual Basic for use with PASSPORT. The macro conversion is provided as a free support service for Rocket Software customers under a current Priority Maintenance Plan or with a current annual Subscription License for the PASSPORT software.

 

The Rocket Software tool can be of great value for Attachmate customers who want to save money on host access using the Rocket Software PASSPORT terminal emulation, but has a sizable number of EXTRA! macros that make it difficult to transition to another host access solution.

 

Customers or prospects who want to have Attachmate macros converted for production use, or as a test, should email them to support@zephyrcorp.com.
