After upgrading from TERM for DOS 7.0 to version 7.2, trying to transfer a file using ZMODEM will give the error, “Can’t find FTZMOD.DLL.” You will need to go to the Century directory and rename the file FTZMODEM.DLL to FTZMOD.DLL.

If Term is installed to a directory other than the default /usr/term, you may get this error. In that case, set the TERMDIR environment variable to point to the TERM install directory. For example, if TERM is installed to /var/term, add the following two lines to your .profile:

TERMDIR=/var/term
export TERMDIR

Using TinyTERM Thin Client on Windows NT 4.0, when you are logged in as an administrator TinyTERM runs without a problem. Non-administrator users may see the error, “Application failed to initialize.”

When this happens, locate the file MS42.DLL . Grant full access rights to all users for that file. That will clear up the error.

Using the LPD server from TinyTERM Plus or TERM Professional 3.3 on Windows 95, print jobs over 8,000 bytes in size sent to Windows 95 are not printed. When this happens, check the host system and the PC. Does either have a Compex 10 Mbps network card? If so, replace the network card. You should not need to change any settings in the LPD software. Print jobs above 8,000 bytes should now print.

Using TinyTERM version 4.02 or 4.03, when the custom emulation size is set, if you exit TinyTERM or if the screensaver comes on, the emulation displays at standard size. The custom emulation size setting is ignored. This issue was fixed TinyTERM version 4.04, originally released in June 1999. There is no patch.

Using Term for Linux version 6.2.5b, the screen does not format properly in all cases. If the display is not right, execute the following two commands at a shell prompt. You may also want to put them into your .profile:

termcap=/etc/termcap
export termcap

Using TERM for UNIX, you may see a locked device error when connecting to a tty port. The port permissions are usually reset to 600 (-rw——-) when this happens, even if you’ve changed it to 666 (-rw-rw-rw-).

The following is a sample script. It will not execute on all UNIX systems. You will need to adjust it for your particular flavor of UNIX. It will resolve the inability of callin and callout being unable to enable and disable ports that use port monitors.

1. Place the script in /usr/bin.
2. Do a chmod 777 to make it executable and accessible to all users.

The script is very simple. It disables the port, makes it accessible to TERM, starts TERM, then re-enables the port after TERM exits.

/usr/sbin/pmadm -d -pttymon0 -s00
sleep5
chmod 0666/dev/term/00
term
/usr/sbin/pmadm -e -pttymon0 -s00


Please note: This script is from Unisys U6000 SVR4 UNIX. Other flavors of UNIX will have commands that do the same thing, but the syntax will be different.

Using TERM for UNIX 6.2.5 on SCO Openserver 5, trying to run a script which dials the modem to make the connection may cause the modem to repeatedly redial the modem before doing the initialization string. To resolve this, increase the DTIMEOUT value, or insert a DINIT command with the correct initialization string prior to the CALL command.

If TinyTERM is not saving individual users’ settings to their TTweb directories, they have to browse to their TTweb directories manually to save and open .tpx files. As a workaround, do the following:

1. Create the configuration file (.tpx extension).
2. Manually save the .tpx file in the user’s directory.
3. Create a desktop shortcut to the tt.exe file.
4. Modify the Target parameter to point to the .tpx file in the user’s directory:
   

   “C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTerm\tt.exe” -nosplash “C:\User Directory\TTweb\configuration.tpx”

   Change “User Directory” to match the path on your Windows server. It varies with the version of Windows.

   The -nosplash parameter is optional. It disables the splash screen on startup.

Once you have opened TinyTERM from the desktop shortcut, any changes will be saved in the correct directory.

When connected to an HP-UX 10.20 host, it may lose data when pasting over 100 lines of information. If this happens, you will need the following patches for HP-UX 10.20:

• PHNE_13413
• PHNE_13414

One patch is for telnet. The other is a kernel patch which requires a system reboot.
