Install TinyTERM Web Server Client version 4.42 or 4.50 on the PC. Start the TinyTERM Emulator. You’ll get a license error.

Select 30-day Eval and choose TinyTERM Web Server. You’ll get an error popup with just “dlgplus.res” in it.

Copy C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM\dlgwcus.res to that file name. The next time you start TinyTERM Emulator you’ll get either a “Get Property CS86” or “ID” error, depending on whether you started tt.exe or clicked a .tpx link on a web page.

The German menus in TinyTERM 4.42 and earlier versions have an error. Where they should say “Deutsch,” they read “Deutsche” instead.

Configure the right mouse button to send a custom string. Set the string to:

%o%p

which will copy the selected text, then immediately paste it at the current cursor location.

Once that’s done and applied, select a single line of text in the emulator, then click the right mouse button. The selected text copies and pastes as it should.

Now select two or more lines of text. When you click the right mouse button, an extra carriage return is inserted at the end of every line. This does not happen using Copy and Paste from the Edit menu.

If you don’t select any text, but click the right mouse button anyway, it appears to buffer a couple of sets of copied text. Clear that out, and it will paste four carriage returns, even though no text was selected.

TinyTERM Thin Client will return this error for some network printers. It’s particularly common with printer names that are very long. In that case, you can generally select the printer and use it correctly once, but making any changes to printer setup after that cause the above error.

Open a reasonable-size file in vi, one that has more than a couple screens of information. Move partway through, then put the cursor in the middle of the screen. Type “dd” or Shift-J to delete a line. You get a Dr. Watson in tt.exe, stack overflow error.

If the file doesn’t take up a full screen of emulation, you won’t get a Dr. Watson error. However, the entire screen will scroll deleting a single line.

If you don’t delete lines, but just scroll down through the file, you can’t scroll back up. And the status line scrolls with the file text as well.

This affects all VT-series emulations. The scrolling problem affects the Linux emulation as well.

CR 458, Dr. Watson
CR 459, scrolling
both fixed in TinyTERM 4.31

TERM 6.28 allows a 30-day evaluation install. This is only available for SCO UNIX or Linux. You can get a copy of the evaluation from our download page.

Set up an SSH connection on a Web server, then click the link from a PC using TinyTERM Web Server Client. The fingerprint dialog may or may not come up. That appears to be OS-dependent. Either way, it never completes the connection.

It does write the fingerprint to the registry, though. You can make the connection happen after a failure by editing the registry. In HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Century Software\HostKeys, rename “last_key” to the hostname or IP address of the target system.

TinyTERM Thin Client does not install the TinyTERM fonts. Nor does TinyTERM Plus 4.40 or higher when the thin client install option is selected. You’ll need to add a new font in that situation.

Hex value 9B is a valid Control Sequence Introducer (CSI) for the Linux console. TinyTERM’s Linux emulation only recognizes \033[ as a CSI. So when it receives 9B, TinyTERM displays it instead of treating it properly.

Using TERM for Linux 6.2.5b, the function keys work properly at the console. However, if TERM is run through an xterm window in any window manager, the function keys fail. This is fixed in TERM 6.28.
