TinyTERM ITX 3270 for iOS does not currently include code page support. Century Software, Inc., has received a request to add multinational code page support, in particular German.

CR 1100

There are several errors in the STD 1253 Windows Greek Code Page used for received data. For example, the lower-case Zeta, Xi and upper-case Omega characters are incorrect. They should be ζ, ξ and Ω respectively.

To fix this problem, download this patch. It contains two files, codepage.dat for use with TinyTERM, and cp1253.ttcodepage for use with TinyTERM for iPad.

To use codepage.dat, locate the existing copy of the file in the TinyTERM directory, normally C:/Program Files/Century/TinyTERM. Rename that file as a backup, then copy this version of the file into the same directory. The next time you start TinyTERM, the corrected file will be in use.

To use cp1253.ttcodepagewith TinyTERM for iPad, follow the instructions for syncing filesin the TinyTERM for iPad documentation.

CR 933, fixed in TinyTERM 4.7.0

Century Software has received a request for global color and encoding default in TinyTERM for iPad. This would allow a single set of colors, code pages, etc., to apply to all new connections after they are set.

CR 905, added in version 1.1.0

In 1995 Century Software, Inc., produced a white paper on code pages. It includes information on what a code page is, and how code pages are used by TERM and TinyTERM.

Some of the information was later incorporated into TinyTERM documentation and help files. You can now download the original in Microsoft Word format here.

In some environments, Cyrillic characters aren’t correct for Russian language display. In other environments, they work perfectly. There are no common factors identified to date.

Through code pages, TinyTERM has over 50 supported character sets. More can be added at customer request. Century Software, Inc., generally also needs assistance assuring that the new code pages work correctly in the end user’s environment.

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

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

This code page was added in TinyTERM 4.21.

CR 285

Two of the special graphics characters for VT220 and VT320 emulations are wrong in TinyTERM 4.00-4.20. The zero 0 shows as a degree sign, a small O superscripted. Capital P shows as a D with a horizontal dash through the vertical bar. The code page responsible for this was corrected in TinyTERM 4.21.
