The documentation for te.SetRGBEntry() says it uses the same arguments as te.GetBGColor(). This is incorrect. There’s no “default” color to set, so the numbers are shifted down by one. This means black is 0 instead of 1, light white is 15 instead of 16, etc.

CR 793, fixed in TinyTERM 4.7.1

The TinyTERM Programmers Reference Manual does not mention the VT420 emulation under te.Emulation. The numeric value for VT420 is 31, for both getting and setting te.Emulation.

CR 782, added in TinyTERM 4.7.1

The EHLLAPI.HLP file contains the following information:

A HLLAPI kit is available on our FTP site (ftp.FrontierTech.com), and the README with the kit describes any discrepancies between WinHLLAPI and Frontier Technologies’ HLLAPI.  The name of the kit is HLLAPI.ZIP.

The specified file does not exist. That text should be removed entirely.

CR 752

The TERM for UNIX manual does not describe how to use the TERM CD. It’s also out of date on supported UNIX flavors, and does not mention Linux, or the demo versions available for SCO UNIX and Linux.

The May 2007 release of the TERM for UNIX CD includes a PDF copy of the TERM for UNIX/Linux manual. It also includes a Quick Start Guide, similar to that available for TinyTERM. The hardcopy manual will no longer be available.

Code pages determine which characters are sent when a keyboard key is pressed, and which ones are displayed when data is received. TinyTERM has over 50 which will cover most Western languages, plus Unicode support for Chinese, Japanese, Korean and UTF-8.

More information is available in the TinyTERM Help. Go to the “Reference” section of the Contents, then to the “Code Page Reference.”

CR 243

You can’t specify a spooling directory for the Century LPD Server unless you put a backslash \ at the end of the path. For example, if you specify C:\temp as your spooling directory, LPD jobs actually spool to C:\, with the word “temp” appended to the beginning of the spool file name. You have to specify C:\temp\ as the spool directory.

CR 569, documentation clarified in TinyTERM Plus 4.40

The tsltrans.exe program included with TinyTERM 4.x will convert TERM Script Language files to CScript. However, it was not always well-documented. The tsl_ commands that it uses are documented in the current Programmers Reference Manual.

CR 52

TinyTERM version 4 did away with a printed manual. All the information is now contained in the Help file.

This proved to be inadequate for some customers, so a Quick Start Guide was added in TinyTERM 4.10. You can download a current copy of the Quick Start Guide here.

CR 51

CScript includes the opsys2() command, which should return a numeric value based on the version of Windows in use. It’s not fully documented in TinyTERM versions prior to 4.31. If you have an older version of TinyTERM, you can download updated CScript documentation.

CR 493, fixed in TinyTERM 4.31

The documentation for te.comin() originally read:

String ComIn
ComIn()
Waits for a character to be received at the communications line, and returns it as a string.
ltr = te.ComIn();

This is incorrect. te.comin() does not wait, but checks the communications line instantaneously. The current, correct documentation reads:

String ComIn
ComIn()
Looks for a character to be received at the communications line and returns it as a string. If no character is received, returns a zero-length string.
ltr = te.ComIn();

CR 377, corrected in TinyTERM 4.30
