VisiLink Emulation Software for Windows

Affinity Emulation Software expands the capabilities of your PC or notebook computer, allowing you to access all your midrange host resources while capitalizing on the power of Windows. Use clipboard features to cut and paste data from one host session to another or to a Windows application. Establish DDE links between 5250 display sessions and a Windows application to allow automatic data links and updates.

A pop-up session window enables users to easily keep track of host sessions to see which are active, add new ones or change existing ones. It also allows the user to see the twinax address that has been assigned to emulation sessions, the terminal and printer model selected and the status of each session.
