The Telnet terminal type setting in TinyTERM allows you to change the terminal type that the host sees announced in telnet connections. It also applies to SSH connections. In older versions of TinyTERM for Windows, it’s called the netterm setting.

Unlike TinyTERM, TERM for UNIX/Linux does not have a Telnet terminal type or netterm option. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add this feature.

If you select a 25-line emulation in TERM, such as SCOANSI or Wyse60-25, but there are not 25 lines available on screen, TERM falls back to VT100 emulation. There’s no warning when this happens. TERM just starts behaving differently than expected.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to make TinyTERM work like any other web page when printing. Specifically, typing ^P should print everything from the beginning of the session to the current screen, rather than just the current screen.

CR 521

TERM for UNIX/Linux won’t make an rlogin connection unless the user is logged in as root. Any other username returns the following errors:

Attempting connection to rlogin:ip.address (rlogin:ip.address)…
Can’t get reserved socket, must run setuid root
Can’t connect to ip.address
Can’t connect to rlogin:ip.address (rlogin:ip.address)…

TinyTERM Web Server Client has visibly slower display than standalone TinyTERM products. Some of this is due to the overhead from running inside a browser.

When you have the Establish connection on open option set, opening a .tpx file automatically connects it. Century Software, Inc., has had a request for a way to edit such a .tpx file without connecting. While this can be done through any text editor, it’s been requested that this be possible through the Session Properties dialog.

CR 510

When running TERM as a background process with the -q command-line option for quiet mode, the Linux log fills with “EOF error on console” messages. This does not happen consistently across releases of TERM or distros of Linux.

TERM for UnixWare does not properly enable or disable tty ports on OpenUnix 8. The devices apparently aren’t listed in the /etc/inittab where TERM expects to find them.

CR 495

Open two sessions in TinyTERM. In the first, open a text file in vi and copy several lines of data to the clipboard.

In the second session, open vi and type i for insert mode. From TinyTERM’s Edit menu, select Paste. Extraneous characters are added to the data.

This does not happen with every file tested. However, it has been reproduced consistently with some source files. The terminal emulation type does not matter.

CR 489

In TinyTERM go to the Tools menu and select Edit Text File. A file select dialog pops up that shows all the files and folders in the TinyTERM directory.

If you have Internet Explorer 6 or higher on the PC, the same file select dialog comes up. However, only folders show up in the list, no files. If you enter *.* in the File name field and hit Enter, the list of files displays.
