TERM for Linux 6.27 and later versions include an RPM install file. TERM 6.2.5b for Linux did not.
The RPM install does not work on every version of Linux. For those that don’t accept such files, Century Software, Inc., has created kernel-specific installs.

TERM for Sun Solaris includes two cd commands in the install script, in the middle of the following if statement:
if [ $OSmajor = 5 ]
then
LASTMOD="28 Apr 95"
BIN_FILES="$BRANDIT"
cd Solaris
else
cd SunOS
fi
On the CD distribution of TERM for UNIX, neither “Solaris” nor “SunOS” exists during the install process. This makes the install script fail with the listed error. The workaround is to install TERM manually.

When run in a terminal server environment, TinyTERM Thin Client (or TinyTERM Plus 4.40 or higher) creates a TTWeb directory in each user’s default directory path. If the user profile isn’t stored in Windows’ default install location, but on a different drive or UNC path, the attempt to create TTWeb fails with a “can’t create” message. You can click OK on that and continue in TinyTERM, but it will keep popping up.

When running TinyTERM inside a web browser, you can’t close the .tpx file itself. You must close the browser instead.

The TERM for UNIX manual does not describe how to use the TERM CD. It’s also out of date on supported UNIX flavors, and does not mention Linux, or the demo versions available for SCO UNIX and Linux.
The May 2007 release of the TERM for UNIX CD includes a PDF copy of the TERM for UNIX/Linux manual. It also includes a Quick Start Guide, similar to that available for TinyTERM. The hardcopy manual will no longer be available.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to allow users to save their individual printer settings when using the TinyTERM Web Server Client. Printer settings are currently saved in the .tpx file, which is only available from the web server when using TinyTERM Web Server Client. Implementing this would require a substantial rewrite of the printer management code.
Nevertheless, this would be a useful function, as client users are not likely to have identical printer settings.

The TERM for UnixWare install fails with a segmentation fault on UnixWare 7.1.1. This is caused by the brand program that licenses TERM. The fault prevents /usr/bin/term from being serialized, making it unusable.

Configure TinyTERM Thin Client on Windows 2000 with Citrix Metaframe XP as a published application. Also configure it to establish connection on open. Occasionally TinyTERM will not accept keyboard input at the login prompt. Clicking Disconnect, then Connect fixes the problem. The problem can also be duplicated by disconnecting and reconnecting repeatedly.

On SCO UnixWare 7.1, if you enable uucp in the devices file, you can still use TERM. It will dial and connect normally, but the display is scrambled. No more than half a screen comes through visibly. If uucp is disabled, TERM works fine.
