Products: PowerTerm

PowerTerm is a terminal emulation program. It includes emulations for most of the popular Unix terminal types, including VT52, VT100, VT220-320, SCO-ANSI, AT386, Wyse 50/60, DG MV D-412, Televideo 925/950 and AIXTerm. It performs file transfer via ZModem, Kermit, and ASCII. It also provides support for print screen, start and stop autoprint, as well as support for slave printing.

PowerTerm's design allows it to have very great performance coupled with small program size. For networking, it supports both TCP sockets and Windows sockets (WinSock), as well as Pathworks Decnet (CTerm) and Pathworks LAT. For serial connection it supports RS-232 (both direct and via modem),  INT14 and BAPI, as well as PPP/SLIP.

Using And PowerTerm's programmable hotspots you can create push buttons on the screen and link them to any key sequence. PowerTerm's high-level API lets it be used directly from many other environments, such as C++, Visual Basic, and PowerBuilder, and it supports EHLLAPI.

Customizations include graphical drag & drop dynamic changing of keyboard mapping for internationalization and other purposes, function keys, cursor style, scrolling, color selections and more. All parameters, even for multiple types of sessions, may be saved for later use.

PowerTerm's ease of use features include Microsoft Windows menu bars, multi-mode copy and paste between host and Windows, toolbar and tool tips, full context-sensitive help and on-line manual.

PowerTerm includes the PowerScript scripting language (with more than 100 commands) and macro recorder for automation of repetitive tasks such as host login. PowerScript includes string functions including substring, index, concatenation; file functions include read, write, copy, delete and directory. Additionally, scripts can perform DDE communication. With these facilities, users can create scripts to control terminal sessions, perform file transfer and other operations.

PowerTerm PLUS has all the features of PowerTerm and also includes a graphical FTP Client.

PowerTerm InterConnect provides full VT520 and VT525 support (VMS), as well as IBM AS/400 and Mainframe connectivity. For the latter two platforms it includes PowerGUI, giving legacy applications an instant 3-D look and feel with no effort. Additionally, PowerTerm 3270 performs file transfer with IND$FILE. (FTP Client included). It also supports the Novell NetWare for SAA Gateway and the Microsoft SNA Gateway. PowerTerm InterConnect supports the TN3270 and TN3270E (SNA over TCP/IP) protocol, as well as TN5250 and APPC.
