Can Attachmate EXTRA!® macros be used with PASSPORT?

Yes, to ease the transition from Attachmate EXTRA!® to PASSPORT, Zephyr created an Attachmate Macro Conversion Tool that automatically converts the proprietary Attachmate macros, developed using EXTRA! Objects, into standard Visual Basic (for use with PASSPORT).

The Attachmate EXTRA!® Macro Conversion Tool is not sold, but is offered as a free service for Zephyr clients that have at least 500 units of software licensed under an annual Subscription License Agreement (SLA). For more information, please contact us at sales@zephyrcorp.com.
