This was seen using TERM 6.2.5 on an AIX 4.2 system, which had been upgraded from AIX 3. TERM randomly locked three different ports, requiring a system shutdown to clear them.

It turned out that TERM 6.2.4 was still on the system when TERM 6.2.5 was installed. Removing all versions of TERM and reinstalling only version 6.2.5 fixed the problem.

When connecting from one system to another, if you run TERM on both you may receive an error about duplicate copies of TERM. This is caused BY installing the same TERM license on both systems. You must have a different license for each system. You cannot use the same serial number and activation key on two systems.

When you move to a new UNIX server, you must install TERM on the new server. If you copy the files over from an older system, you will get errors running TERM instead.

This error means no modem is installed in Windows. If the modem does appear to be installed, remove it and reinstall it.

Using TinyTERM 3.3 on Windows 95, when executing a batch file from within a script, you may get a syntax error instead. When this happens, make sure the *.bat file is located in a directory listed in the system PATH.

Prior to 2011, Century Software, Inc., had no native Macintosh product. That changed with the release of TinyTERM ITX for Mac, which is supported on OS X versions 10.5 and above.

In addition, TinyTERM version 4.x has been tested and is supported on current-generation Macs when using emulation software. Windows emulators such as Virtual PC or Parallelswill run TinyTERM without error.

Century Software, Inc., also released a TERM 6 for Macintosh product many years ago. That product is no longer supported due to its age and significant changes in the Mac OS in the meanwhile. If you happen to have a mid-1990s or earlier Mac, and you are still running TERM for Macintosh on it, please contact us. We’d like to hear about it.

If your screen display does not keep up with your typing, try to isolate the source of the problem:

1. Local PC
   If there are other applications running on the PC, try closing them. Does that improve performance?
2. Router/Configuration
   Open a command prompt and type

   tracert server

   Replace “server” with the hostname or IP address of the server you’re connecting to. The speed should be lower than 100 ms for good connections.

3. Host System
   At a command prompt on the host, execute the top or sar command. If the speed is less than 30%, your server is low on resources.

Using TinyTERM 3.3, with the Shift key pressed, the Escape key does nothing. This is a known limitation in that version. It can also happen with Caps Lock on, depending on the keyboard.

TinyTERM Plus and TERM Professional 3.3 include an FTP server for Windows 95 and 98. Once you’ve added Century Internet Services to the Network Properties, you can configure it with these steps:

1. Right-click Network Neighborhood and select Properties.
2. Select Century Internet Services.
3. Click the Properties button.
4. Under the Services tab, click ftp to highlight it.
5. Click the Enable button.
6. Select Configure.
7. Add a new user.
8. Click OK and exit Network Neighborhood.

The FTP server is now available for use with the user you created.

Using any version of TERM for Windows, or TinyTERM Application Developer 3.3, you can remove the product name from the Window title. Doing this will allow the minimized label to show only the connection name.

1. Edit the file WTERMUS.CMD using any text editor.
2. Search for t_wtitle until you find these lines:
   

   setvar t_wtitle t_sysverb
   if trim (sysvar(20)) !=”
   setvar t_wtitle t_wtitle +’-‘ + sysvar(20)
   endif

3. Change the third line above to read:
   

   setvar t_wtitle sysvar(20)

4. Save the changes to the file. The next time you start TERM, the window title should reflect the changes.
