The Wyse50 and Wyse60 emulations display protected mode text as reverse on Mac, Linux and iOS devices. This is hard to read in some circumstances. Century Software, Inc., has received a request to allow other options for displaying protected text, similar to the options in TinyTERM for Windows.

In TinyTERM for iPad version 1.2.0, this was updated to display protected mode text in bold.

OS X uses function keys for a number of functions. So do most terminal emulations. Century Software, Inc. has had a request to add function key buttons to the TinyTERM ITX user interface, so that the keyboard function keys can be used for their standard Mac functions.

CR 941, added in TinyTERM ITX 1.0.6

Many host applications display shaded boxes by drawing some of the character cells around the box in black. At certain screen resolutions, TinyTERM will display light-colored lines between these cells.

This is a draw bug allowing a TinyTERM default background color through. It happens on Windows, Mac and Linux platforms.

Using IBM3151 emulation, TinyTERM for iPad and TinyTERM ITX display letters where lines should be drawn instead. This works properly in TinyTERM for Windows.

CR 934, fixed in TinyTERM ITX 1.0.5

TinyTERM for iPad and TinyTERM ITX both include PCTERM emulation. However, it fails when scancodes are required.

This is due to the lack of a Windows keyboard interface. Scancodes are generated automatically by Windows keyboards, but are not used in most other operating systems. So on non-Windows platforms, the scancodes are not available.

CR 929

TinyTERM for Windows allows users to enable or disable display of text attributes set by the host. For example, blinking text can be turned off, have its color changed, etc.

Neither TinyTERM for iPad nor TinyTERM ITX has this capability, other than providing an alternate color option for bold text. Century Software has had a request to add this capability for all text attributes.

On 64-bit Windows 7, TinyTERM Plus may fail to connect automatically when the connection type is set to SSH. This can be cleared up by running TinyTERM in a 32-bit compatibility mode. To do that, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Start menu and right-click on the TinyTERM Emulator icon.
2. Select Properties from the pop-up menu.
3. In the resulting dialog, go to the Compatibility tab.
4. Check the box marked Run this program in compatibility mode for:
5. Select Windows XP (Service Pack 3) from the drop-down list.
6. OK the changes.

SSH will connect normally after that.

When running TinyTERM version 4.63 or higher, you may get an error message that reads, “This copy of TinyTERM is not licensed to run on Microsoft server operating systems.” It is most common on Windows Vista and later Windows versions.

This message indicates that the product is not licensed to run in a terminal server environment. TinyTERM uses concurrent licensing in Microsoft terminal server environments such as Windows 2008 Server.

If you believe you have received this message in error, please contact Century Software technical support at support@centurysoftware.com or 801-268-3088. Please have your activation key and your Windows version available. We will work with you to get this issue resolved.

When running TinyTERM version 4.63 or higher, you may see a “License Count Exceeded” error dialog. This happens when you open more windows than your product is licensed for. For example, a three-user TinyTERM Plus license will only allow three windows to open. The fourth will see this error.

This is by design. In terminal server environments such as Microsoft Windows 2008 Server, TinyTERM Plus is licensed concurrently. Only the licensed number of TinyTERM instances may be run at one time.

You may get this message in error on standalone PCs. If this is happening, and you believe it should not be, please contact technical support at support@centurysoftware.com or 801-268-3088. Please have your 25-character activation key available, and let us know which version of Windows you are using. We will resolve this issue for you.

On Windows Vista and Windows 7, attempting to delete a .tpx file as described here appears to work. But when TinyTERM starts again, the deleted connection settings are still there.

Those versions of Windows back up important files in case of accidental deletion. This includes TinyTERM’s .tpx files. The backup copies are kept in a special directory:

C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM

where <username> is the login name of the user who deleted the files.

To delete the files, delete both the main and backup copies. The next time TinyTERM starts, the connection settings will be back at default.
