Change the default dialog color in Windows. In TinyTERM, open the Session Properties and go to the Keyboard tab. Click the Edit button to bring up the keyboard map. Most of the keys shift to match the new dialog color. However, the background stays gray, as do the Ctrl, Shift and Alt keys.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to make drag-and-drop copying and pasting of text possible in TinyTERM. This would allow you to select a text block with the mouse, then grab it and drag it to another application, or to the current cursor location in TinyTERM.

CR 799

SCO OpenServer 6 addresses serial ports with /dev/term/XX numbering. TERM for SCO UNIX’s callin and callout routines require /dev/ttyNN format instead. While SCO OpenServer 6 also provides that format for serial ports, it’s not their preferred method.

CR 794

Turn on the vertical scrollbar in TinyTERM. Then use it to scroll back through the session. You get beeps instead. You can’t use the keyboard to scroll after this, either. But if you use the keyboard to scroll first, then the scrollbar and keyboard both work properly.

CR 846, Wyse60 and Wyse60-25 connecting to SCO UNIX

Generate an RSA key through any method, then copy it to the PC. Load the key in TinyTERM and supply the username & hostname as normal. TinyTERM still asks for both username and password on connect, as though RSA key was not there.

This happens because the hka= and hkafile= keys in the .tpx file aren’t set when you use an RSA key. The key is ignored because it’s not written to the .tpx. But manually editing the information into the .tpx file doesn’t always work either.

CR 788

The Login tab of Session Properties is normally grayed out when using TN3270 or TN5250 emulation. The only available items on the tab are Use private key and the Load Key button, both for SSL/TLS connections. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to make the rest of the tab available for automating telnet login for TN3270 emulation.

CR 786

When the TVI950 emulation receives the sequence \033Y, it’s supposed to clear the screen to the end of page, regardless of protected status of fields on screen. In TinyTERM it only clears the non-protected areas.

CR 779

When using telnet to connect to an IBM mainframe running VSC or VSE, TinyTERM’s TN3270 emulation connects, then immediately disconnects with no errors. The mainframe log shows a variant on one of the following errors, depending on which version of TCP/IP is installed:

TEL911E TN3270 negotiation error type askterm.

TEL967E Negotiation error: Expected FFFB18 received null.

TinyTERM on the same PC has no problems connecting to a mainframe running VM.

CR 776, fixed in TinyTERM Plus 4.7.1, 24 January 2012

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add a cursor location display to TinyTERM. This would print the cursor’s current row and column in the Status Bar.

CR 766

The TN3270 and TN5250 emulations allow you to choose between block and underline cursors, with the option for the cursor to blink or not, just like other emulations in TinyTERM Plus. However, the cursor always blinks, regardless of which option is selected.
