SBMac is a terminal emulation and data transfer program allowing a Macintosh to be used as a terminal (connected to a host computer directly, by modem, or over the Internet.) emulating Viewpoint, Wyse 50, VT101 or Prism. The emulators support video attributes such as dim, reverse, underline, 132-column codes, and graphic characters sent from the host computer, as well as enhanced Viewpoint mode.
It is specifically designed to work with host systems running SB+.


Scroll Back

SBMac™ version 4 can scroll back to the past 20 pages of data. It remembers the last 20 pages that appear on your screen, regardless of whether the data has scrolled across the screen or the screen has cleared. Video attributes such as inverse and underline are also saved including colors.


Data Transfers

Data transferred from the host computer can be used in Mac spreadsheets, databases, word processors, page layout and other programs. Other features include phone list and dialer for Hayes-compatible modems, on-screen programmable function keys, Mac-to-host as well as host-to-Mac data transfer capability, 32-bit clean, Apple events support, and more.

The data transfer capabilities are designed to work with relational databases on hosts running PICK, UNIX, Prime, Ultimate, uniVerse, UniData, etc.

Data transfers can be remotely controlled from PICK BASIC. Client Server commands are supported to allow host programming that lets a user simply select from a host menu item to start a data transfer.

SBMac has all of the connection, data transfer and emulation features of MacToPic Plus:
