When TinyTERM Plus is configured to use TN5250 emulation, if you click the Setup button and select IBM 3477-FC (27 x 132), the screen goes blank and won’t display anything. If you then disconnect and re-connect, the screen will display again, but in 24 x 80 mode even though 27 x 132 is still selected.

Also, once you’ve done this, you can’t get back to the TN5250 setup dialog. It comes up with TN3270 setup information instead.

TinyTERM 3.3 has a (new) tab at the bottom of the emulator screen. Clicking that allows you to select and open a .tap file for a new connection.

TinyTERM 4.x does not have anything similar. You must use the Open button on the Ribbon Bar, or the Open Session option on the File menu to open a new .tpx file.

CR 106 (enhancement request)

TinyTERM cannot use pulse dialing to connect. It has to use tone dialing. For phone lines that require pulse instead of tone dialing, connect to the serial port and use the Hayes commands to connect. The specific command for pulse dialing is:

ATDP18012683088

Replace the telephone number as appropriate.

CR 105

Configure TinyTERM for SCOANSI emulation, then connect to a SCO UNIX system. Go to a shell prompt. When you hit the Delete key, the cursor moves one position to the right on each key press. This is normal behavior, not a bug.

CR 91

The TN3270 and TN5250 emulations only print in Courier New font, regardless of the font selected for screen display. This was changed in TinyTERM Plus 4.40, so that the display font would also be the font used for printing. To make this work, you must print to the Windows printer, with the Bypass Printer Drivers option not set.

CR 9

When you go into Session Properties while connected via modem and click OK, you lose the connection even if you don’t make any changes. This is due to the way Windows TAPI handles modems. TAPI configures the modem dynamically. When you click OK in Session Properties, it wipes out those dynamic changes.

CR 84, fixed in TinyTERM 4.20

Instead of the ż character, TinyTERM has ź listed a second time. This is due to a bad entry in the “STD TERM TCS2” code page.

CR 837, fixed in TinyTERM 4.53

If the terminal emulation in TinyTERM is set to any emulation that uses \033[5i as the transparent print on code — SCOANSI, ANSI, VT220, etc. — printing to the Windows printer produces no output. If you check Bypass Printer Drivers, then it works, provided the printer allows it. This only affects TinyTERM 4.42.

CR 720, fixed in TinyTERM 4.43

In TinyTERM’s Session Properties, click the Setup button next to the Emulation line. In the “VT Emulations” section, look at the drop-down list under National Replacement Character Set. One of the options is CANDIAN. It should read CANADIAN, of course.

CR 715, fixed in TinyTERM 4.43

The TN3270 keyboard map allows you to set any PC key to the 3270 DUP key. However, it doesn’t work. It acts as though no key were pressed instead.
