Converting Attachmate Extra! Macros and Profiles

HostExplorer provides a utility that lets you convert Attachmate Extra! macros (.ebm files) and profiles (.edp files). The utility converts .ebm files into Hummingbird Basic macro files, and it converts .edp files into standard HostExplorer session profiles (.hep files).

The utility keeps the original file intact and requests a destination folder for placing the converted file. You can convert individual files or entire directories.

To convert Attachmate Extra! Macros or Profiles:

1. On the Windows Start menu, navigate to the HostExplorer program group and click Macro and Profile Converter. The Macro And Profile Converter dialog box opens.
2. In the Conversion Type list, do one of the following:
3. • To convert a macro, choose the Attachmate Extra! Macros (*.EBM) option.
   • To convert a profile, choose the Attachmate Extra! v6.x Profiles (*.EDP) option.
3. In the Files To Convert or Directory To Convert box, specify the file or directory you want to convert.
4. In the Destination Directory box, specify a destination directory in which to place the converted files.
5. If you are converting an entire directory and want the utility to include subfolders in that directory, select the Recursive Search option.
6. If you are converting an entire directory and want to be notified before each file is actually converted, select the Prompt Before Each Conversion option.
7. Click Convert to begin the conversion.
