Using TinyTERM 4.02, the SCOANSI emulation seems to be blurry, fuzzy and not as clear as it was in older version of Tiny Term. This is a known issue, corrected in TinyTERM 4.03. There is no patch.

Using TinyTERM 4.02 or 4.03, lines wrap whether or not the “End of line wrap” option is set. To get it to stop, you must open the Session Properties, verify the box is not checked, then click OK. This will work even if the box is not checked.

This is a known issue in TinyTERM versions 4.02 and 4.03. It was fixed in version 4.04. There is no patch.

Using TinyTERM version 4.02 or 4.03, when the custom emulation size is set, if you exit TinyTERM or if the screensaver comes on, the emulation displays at standard size. The custom emulation size setting is ignored. This issue was fixed TinyTERM version 4.04, originally released in June 1999. There is no patch.

The TN5250 emulation available in TERM Professional and TinyTERM Plus will not work through an IBM 5250 card. The 5250 card has its own software and cabling. TinyTERM Plus and TERM Professional use TCP/IP.

Telnet is the only option available to both. TinyTERM Plus version 4.5 also has SSL/TLS capabilities.

Using TinyTERM 3.3 on Windows 3.1 with a serial connection, if you put TinyTERM in the Startup program group, you’ll get an error:

Error (4514) Bad argument to function vsetoption: expected vector, got integer

This will happen any time you use anything on the File menu. You also won’t be able to exit Windows unless you use Ctrl-Alt-Delete.

To fix this, change the icon properties to remove us.tap from the command line. Switch to default.tap instead.

Using TERM for UNIX, you may see a locked device error when connecting to a tty port. The port permissions are usually reset to 600 (-rw——-) when this happens, even if you’ve changed it to 666 (-rw-rw-rw-).

The following is a sample script. It will not execute on all UNIX systems. You will need to adjust it for your particular flavor of UNIX. It will resolve the inability of callin and callout being unable to enable and disable ports that use port monitors.

1. Place the script in /usr/bin.
2. Do a chmod 777 to make it executable and accessible to all users.

The script is very simple. It disables the port, makes it accessible to TERM, starts TERM, then re-enables the port after TERM exits.

/usr/sbin/pmadm -d -pttymon0 -s00
sleep5
chmod 0666/dev/term/00
term
/usr/sbin/pmadm -e -pttymon0 -s00


Please note: This script is from Unisys U6000 SVR4 UNIX. Other flavors of UNIX will have commands that do the same thing, but the syntax will be different.

CR 572

Using TERM for UNIX 6.2.5 on SCO Openserver 5, trying to run a script which dials the modem to make the connection may cause the modem to repeatedly redial the modem before doing the initialization string. To resolve this, increase the DTIMEOUT value, or insert a DINIT command with the correct initialization string prior to the CALL command.

In TinyTERM version 4.05, the PASTE function under keyboard mapping does not work. To map a key to paste, do the following:

1. Open the keyboard editor.
2. Click on the key you want to use for paste.
3. Change the Action field to COMMAND.
4. In the Value field, enter:
   

   TEObj.Paste(0);

5. Click Set, then close the keyboard editor.
6. Click Save As to give the keyboard scheme a name.

You may want to print the TERM or TinyTERM screen without going to the menus. In that case, you can remap a key to perform this function.

In TERM for UNIX, the F6 key is mapped to print by default. To change this, use the SETKEY script command. For example, to map printing to Shift-F6 instead, the command is:

SETKEY SF6 PRINT

In TinyTERM for DOS the Alt-P key prints the screen by default. To change this, type Alt-S for the Setup menu, then select Keyboard. Change the Print Screen line to the desired key.

There is no default key mapped to print screen in TERM for DOS. To change that, type Alt-K to get the keyboard settings. Change the Print Screen line there to the desired key.

TERM and TinyTERM for Windows require more steps:

1. Open the keyboard editor.
2. Click the Chart Open button.
3. Click the F button in the upper right.
4. Click and drag the word PRINT from the chart to the key you want to use; i.e., F8.
5. Click the Chart Close button.
6. Click the Set button.
7. Click OK.
8. Click the “Save As” button to give the new keyboard scheme a name. You can use an existing scheme name to replace it if you desire. But if you replace the “Default” scheme, there’s no way to restore it to its previous settings.
9. Click on Apply and OK.

The RGB settings that follow are the default values for all Century Software, Inc., products. These can only be changed in TinyTERM version 4 with the te.SetRGBEntry() CScript command. There is no other way to set the colors, nor can they be set in any other product.
