When installing the network utilities (NetUtils) to Windows 98se or Windows Me, you get the error, “ATL.DLL missing, must install TinyTERM Plus.” It comes up immediately after the progress bar for starting the NetUtils setup hits 100%. Installing TinyTERM Plus in safe mode bypasses the problem in some cases.

When uninstalling TinyTERM Plus, you must also remove the “NetUtils” item in Add/Remove Programs to finish the uninstall. This removes the file msvbmvm60.dll from the PC as well.

If the file isn’t present when NetUtils (the network utilities part of TinyTERM Plus) is installed, NetUtils installs it. However, whether or not the file was present before, the uninstall removes it. This happens even if other installed programs rely on the file.

When installing TinyTERM Plus 4.50 on Windows XP, the Century LPD files are not always copied. This was duplicated, but inconsistently.

This happens because the .tpx extension used by TinyTERM isn’t registered on install. To fix this, click the Open With button on the error dialog. If asked, choose Select the program from a list next.

You’ll get an Open With dialog. In that dialog, select either tt.exe or CSL Run Engine ActiveX Doc Object Server, whichever is displayed. You may need to choose the Browse option to find it.

Finally, check the box marked Always use the selected program to open this kind of file, then click OK. From then on, double-clicking a .tpx file will open TinyTERM.

After TinyTERM Plus is installed, users with no administrator privilege can only use existing .tpx connection profiles. They can’t create new .tpx files or update the existing ones. This is because .tpx files are saved in C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM, and after installation, non-administrator users have read-only permission for that folder.

Century Software, Inc., has received a request to change that folder’s default permission to “Modify” for normal users during installation. After installation, this would allow all users to create their own connection profiles in that directory.

By design, TinyTERM Thin Client or TinyTERM Plus in a terminal server environment creates a TTweb folder for each user, in that individual user’s profile. Users should save custom configuration files to that folder, rather than to the TinyTERM install folder.

TinyTERM 4.40 does list in Control Panel as a program that can be removed. However, clicking the button to uninstall it does nothing. It must be uninstalled manually.

CR 655, fixed in TinyTERM 4.41

The BBx programming language has a feature that allows one user to login multiple times while only using a single server license. It requires special license handling. This was implemented in TinyTERM 4.33.

CR 592

When TinyTERM is not installed to the default directory C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM, a Post session start script won’t run. This is particularly evident when TinyTERM is installed to a drive other than C:.

CR 561

On install, TinyTERM 4.30 also installs NetUtils. However, the license will not allow them to execute. They should only install with TinyTERM Plus.
CR 559, fixed in TinyTERM 4.31

Th error “Dynamic linker relocation error: symbol not found BLKNO” may come up when TERM tries to connect to a tty port on SCO OpenServer 5.0.6. It indicates a missing linked library on SCO. Installing the latest updates from SCO will normally resolve the problem.
