When run inside a browser, some of TinyTERM’s function keys will not work. In particular, combining the Alt key with a function key will be intercepted and used by the browser first.

When this happens, configure TinyTERM to run standalone, instead of in the browser. To do that, on the administrator copy go to the Edit menu and select Preferences. In the Preferences dialog, click the OLE Settings tab. On that tab, click the Display as stand alone helper application radio button. Click OK, then save the session.

Upload the new .tpx file to your web server. When it’s clicked by a user, TinyTERM will open in a separate window, rather than in the browser.

CR 378

TinyTERM Web Server Client includes no user interface, no way for the user to customize the keyboard. Instead, you need to create any custom keyboard configuration on the administrator PC, the one used to create the .tpx files. This will make changes to the C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM\keyboard.dat file.

Once configured, the keyboard.dat file can be copied to your web server. Users can then download it to their own C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM directories, replacing the default file. That will make the custom keyboard mappings available to the .tpx files that need them.

TinyTERM Web Server Client version 4.20 will generate “Could not run CSL entry point: main” when run on Windows XP. It works properly on earlier versions of Windows. The only solution is to switch to a different version of TinyTERM Web Server Client.

CR 286, fixed in TinyTERM Web Server Client 4.21

Like all versions of TinyTERM, the TinyTERM Web Server Client must be installed with administrator privileges on the local PC. However, unlike other versions of TinyTERM, the Web Server Client will fail with an application error for the most restricted users. It must run under at least Power User rights on Windows NT, 2000, XP or Vista.
