When using TN3270 emulation in TinyTERM Plus over an RDP connection, the right Ctrl key – normally used as the Enter key – acts the same as the left Ctrl key. This works properly at the Windows server console.

Most versions of Windows ship with the Lucida Console font installed. TinyTERM also installs the same font into its own directory, as lucon.ttf. However, it also overwrites the existing Windows copy of the font with a shortcut to the TinyTERM copy.

Uninstalling TinyTERM removes the shortcut. It does not replace the font.

Century Software’s ITX product line for iPhone and iPad support most devices that provide user input options. They also support some wifi devices.

Keyboards

Any Bluetooth keyboard is supported in TinyTERM on both iPad and iPhone. Dock keyboards that physically plug into the iPhone or iPad data port are also supported.

Scanners

TinyTERM supports any scanner that acts as a keyboard wedge. These devices all use the Bluetooth HID profile.

In addition, TinyTERM Plus and TinyTERM Enterprise support a number of hardware scanning attachments. This includes support for magnetic stripes, and 1D and 2D optically-scanned codes. A full list is available in the online documentation.

Serial Devices

WiFi-to-serial adapters are fully supported by TinyTERM. These devices generally create either an IP address for the RS232 port, or an ad hoc wireless network used only for the port. TinyTERM can communicate with either variety.

Neither the iPad nor the iPhone supports the Bluetooth SSD profile. This means that Bluetooth serial adapters cannot be supported by TinyTERM. The iOS option just isn’t there.

Serial cable support is currently disallowed for new applications by Apple. As such, no direct serial cable is supported by TinyTERM.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to reduce the height of the title bar on TinyTERM ITX for iPhone.

The ability to hide the title bar entirely was added in TinyTERM ITX 2, TinyTERM Pro, TinyTERM ITX 3270, TinyTERM ITX 5250 and TinyTERM Enterprise. This feature is available in both iPhone and iPad versions.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add cursor crosshairs to TinyTERM ITX 3270 for iPad. This would draw horizontal and vertical lines on screen, centered on one corner of the current cursor position.

TinyTERM ITX for Mac does not currently allow the user to change the National Replacement Character Set in VT-series emulations. This functionality is available in TinyTERM for Windows. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to extend NRCS support to the Mac.

CR 1031

In TinyTERM ITX for Mac, the number 0 and the capital letter O look identical. They can be distinguished by context in most cases, but not by looking at them.

CR 1036

Scripts that use TSL compatibility commands for dialog boxes, etc., generate this error in TinyTERM version 4.7.x. The same error comes up when running TSL scripts directly, allowing them to convert on the fly.

CR 1034

The optional ~/.ssh/config file allows users to configure server by alias, include the username, and set many other options. Connecting to a host system via this locally-stored file speeds up the process. Century Software, Inc., has received a request to implement support for this on the Mac.

CR 1032

When using a hardware keyboard with TinyTERM ITX 3270 for iPad, either via dock or Bluetooth, the Enter key on the keyboard acts as a Return key. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add a switch that would allow the option of using the Enter key as a 3270 Enter key instead.
