SCO OpenServer 6 addresses serial ports with /dev/term/XX numbering. TERM for SCO UNIX’s callin and callout routines require /dev/ttyNN format instead. While SCO OpenServer 6 also provides that format for serial ports, it’s not their preferred method.

The documentation for te.SetRGBEntry() says it uses the same arguments as te.GetBGColor(). This is incorrect. There’s no “default” color to set, so the numbers are shifted down by one. This means black is 0 instead of 1, light white is 15 instead of 16, etc.

CR 793, fixed in TinyTERM 4.7.1

This error happens when booting PIXIL Thin Client from the hard drive on a Dell GX270, small form factor. The same system boots properly from a flash drive.

This appears to be a specific incompatibility with that particular model. Other hardware platforms, including the GX270 in standard form factor, do not get this error.

CR 792

Turn on the vertical scrollbar in TinyTERM. Then use it to scroll back through the session. You get beeps instead. You can’t use the keyboard to scroll after this, either. But if you use the keyboard to scroll first, then the scrollbar and keyboard both work properly.

CR 846, Wyse60 and Wyse60-25 connecting to SCO UNIX

This error from the TinyTERM install means that the attempt to write the license to the registry failed. In most cases you can add the license through License Manager immediately after install completes.

If that also fails, verify that you are logged in as a local PC administrator. You must have administrator rights to install TinyTERM.

TinyTERM 4.50 gives this error for an evaluation install, regardless of the user rights or version of Windows. That was fixed in TinyTERM 4.52.

TinyTERM Web Server Client also gives this error on install. When that happens, start the TinyTERM Emulator from the Start menu. You’ll get a “product not licensed” error. Click the 30-day Eval button. Select TinyTERM Web Server from the list, then click OK. TinyTERM Web Server Client will run normally after that, and will not expire.

CR 812, TinyTERM Web Server Client

Install TinyTERM Web Server in Windows. Go to the directory C:\Program Files\Century\TinyTERM\ttwc and open the index.htm file there. Click on any of the four links on the left. If asked, open the file rather than saving it. TinyTERM opens in the browser as it should.

Click the Close button on the Ribbon Bar, or right-click the status button at the lower left and select Close from the pop-up menu. The window goes gray as it should. However, clicking any of the .tpx file links does not open the file. You have to close the browser, then open it again to open another .tpx file. The same thing happens in a true TinyTERM Web Server configuration.

CR 79

Generate an RSA key through any method, then copy it to the PC. Load the key in TinyTERM and supply the username & hostname as normal. TinyTERM still asks for both username and password on connect, as though RSA key was not there.

This happens because the hka= and hkafile= keys in the .tpx file aren’t set when you use an RSA key. The key is ignored because it’s not written to the .tpx. But manually editing the information into the .tpx file doesn’t always work either.

CR 788

The Login tab of Session Properties is normally grayed out when using TN3270 or TN5250 emulation. The only available items on the tab are Use private key and the Load Key button, both for SSL/TLS connections. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to make the rest of the tab available for automating telnet login for TN3270 emulation.

CR 786

This error comes from translated TSL scripts. The script will typically run correctly once, then generate this error on subsequent tries. Closing and reopening TinyTERM is the only workaround.

problem can be traced to the tsl_atobjdone() command. For example, this line caused the problem in one customer’s script:

tsl_atobjdone(111,9,5,5,250,200,(0)|16385,””,””,0,0,-1,”chosen”, “”);

Everything before this point executed correctly. Every tsl_ command after this one gave the above error, followed by a “Subscript out of bounds” message.

CR 784

The TinyTERM Programmers Reference Manual does not mention the VT420 emulation under te.Emulation. The numeric value for VT420 is 31, for both getting and setting te.Emulation.
