TinyTERM for iPad allows a telnet connection to port 25, common when connecting to a mail server. The connection is successful, but no data is displayed. This also affects HTTP servers running on port 80.

TinyTERM for Windows allows users to enable or disable display of text attributes set by the host. For example, blinking text can be turned off, have its color changed, etc.

Neither TinyTERM for iPad nor TinyTERM ITX has this capability, other than providing an alternate color option for bold text. Century Software has had a request to add this capability for all text attributes.

TinyTERM for iPad originally did not include a Caps Lock key. That functionality was added in version 1.1.1.

There is a workaround for earlier versions. While using a custom keyboard layout, hold down the right Shift key, then hold the left Shift key for a second. This will lock the keyboard in Shift state. To turn off this shift lock, hide the keyboard, then restore it by tapping the screen once.

CR 915, added in version 1.1.1

When the host sets the number of columns in TinyTERM to 132, such as with the VMS command SET TERM/WID=132, the TinyTERM display changes appropriately. At some point afterward, the screen reverts to 80 columns. Neither the host nor the user needs to take any action to have this happen.

TinyTERM for iPad 1.1 has the ability to change the text display area, based on whether or not the keyboard is visible. When the keyboard is brought back after being hidden, this sometimes causes data to scroll off the top of the screen.

This is due to the way TinyTERM deals with the changing number of lines and columns. It starts at the bottom left of the current display, then works up and to the right. Text that won’t fit in the reduced space is lost.

This is a compromise between the variable settings functionality and the amount of available space. It may not be the best way to handle the changes. Century Software welcomes suggestions on how this can be improved.

When connected to a Cisco router, the BREAK key does not open rmon as it should. The key is apparently not usable connected to a Cisco router at all.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add support for the iPad VGA adapter to TinyTERM.

In some instances, TinyTERM will not change the printer selection on Windows 7. The printer can be selected, but on returning to printer setup, it has not been changed.

The workaround is to edit the .tpx file, changing the prnwndix entry to prnwndix=1. This still does not allow the printer to be changed through TinyTERM’s user interface, but it does change the printer setting in most cases.

Century Software has received a request to add support for Japanese kanji to TinyTERM for iPad.

Century Software has received a request that TinyTERM for iPad automatically start the VPN when it’s launched. This would save a step in the connection setup process over VPNs.
