z/Scope Classic is a comprehensive, PC-to-host desktop terminal emulator developed by Cybele Software. It is specifically designed to grant Windows users secure, modernized access to multi-platform legacy environments like IBM Mainframes, AS/400 (iSeries) servers, and UNIX/Linux hosts from a unified interface. Supported Protocols & Systems
The core value of the Classic edition is its multi-host, multi-protocol flexibility, which eliminates the need for separate standalone emulators:
IBM Mainframes: Supports TN3270 and TN3270E extended protocols. IBM AS/400 Systems: Supports TN5250 and TN5250E protocols.
UNIX / Linux Hosts: Fully compatible with VT52, VT100, VT220, VT320, VT420, and standard ANSI text-based interfaces. Key Features & Capabilities
Tabbed & Tiled Interfaces: Users can manage multiple active Telnet or FTP sessions within a single window using a modern tabbed layout. It also features a customizable “tiled view” that can display up to four active emulation screens simultaneously.
Integrated FTP Client: Features a built-in, multi-session FTP client directly native to the tabbed layout. It is highly optimized to understand specialized file formats like AS/400 objects and z/OS datasets.
Host Automation: Integrates HLLAPI, EHLLAPI, and WinHLLAPI standards. This allows organizations to run supercharged macros, automate repetitive data Entry sequences, and integrate legacy host screens into modern third-party scripting environments.
Advanced Printing Emulation: Supports TN3287 and TN3812 printer emulation, enabling users to queue, pause, cancel, and preview print jobs straight from the host machine without departing the interface.
Modern Productivity Tools: Offers features such as screen history, customizable “HotSpots” (turning on-screen text into clickable macro shortcuts), auto-fill templates, and direct data exporting to Microsoft Office apps. Security Standards
