If you set up data capture to a named pipe, TERM for UNIX/Linux hangs. This is not strictly a TERM problem; it’s an OS issue. Unlike files or serial devices, named pipes can fill up. At that point, TERM hangs.

The only known fix at this time would involve adding detection and non-blocking code to TERM for situations where the named pipe is full. This has the potential for introducing bugs, especially in serial communications and file writes.

TERM for UNIX/Linux won’t make an rlogin connection unless the user is logged in as root. Any other username returns the following errors:

Attempting connection to rlogin:ip.address (rlogin:ip.address)…
Can’t get reserved socket, must run setuid root
Can’t connect to ip.address
Can’t connect to rlogin:ip.address (rlogin:ip.address)…

In TERM for UNIX, WTERMCRC file transfers move much more quickly over an rlogin connection than they do over a telnet connection. The fastest file transfer protocol for TCP/IP connections is FTP, but that does not include the benefits that come from TERM-to-TERM transfers.

In Windows NT, 2000 or XP, open the Control Panel. Go to the Display applet and select Settings. Click the Advanced button. If the Font Size drop-down is set to Large Fonts, the CenLPDstatus.exe program will open, but you won’t be able to make any changes. This is related to the way Visual Basic handles large fonts.

This was described in TinyTERM 4.30 over a serial connection to a VAX VMS system. When scrolling through a list of data, only the bottom line of text changed. This has not been duplicated elsewhere.

TERM for UNIX/Linux includes an IBM3270 emulation. This is a character-based emulation based on VT100, not the more thorough protocol-style TN3270 included in TinyTERM Plus.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add 3270 and 5250 emulations to TERM for UNIX/Linux. This has not been implemented thus far.

TinyTERM Web Server Client has visibly slower display than standalone TinyTERM products. Some of this is due to the overhead from running inside a browser.

CR 511

When you have the Establish connection on open option set, opening a .tpx file automatically connects it. Century Software, Inc., has had a request for a way to edit such a .tpx file without connecting. While this can be done through any text editor, it’s been requested that this be possible through the Session Properties dialog.

The keyboard editor in TinyTERM 4.x includes keyboard maps for the United Kingdom, the United States, France and Germany. Century Software has had a request to add two Brazilian keyboard maps, ABNT and ABNT2.

CR 503

In TinyTERM 4.x using VT220 emulation, when the host application opens a sub- or “child” window, it does not scroll correctly. Only the last line of the child window scrolls.
