When installing TERM for UNIX, you may see the error “Term.exe not found.” This error always happens when you have uncompressed the wrong version of TERM; for example, using the termi6.tar file on SCO UNIX, which should use termu3.tar instead. Check the readme file on the TERM CD for a list of operating systems and appropriate versions.

Using SCOANSI emulation in TinyTERM 4.03, the display may appear blurry. Also, some columns or headings maybe highlighted when they normally are not.

To resolve this problem, you will need to install this patch. It is documented in this file.

CR 95, fixed in TinyTERM 4.20

Using TinyTERM 3.3 on Windows 95, when connecting you may get “Error (620) Reserve sockets in use.” This indicates a TCP/IP problem. To fix it, delete TCP/IP from the network properties, reboot the PC and then reinstall TCP/IP.

To uninstall TERM for UNIX, you need to remove three files and one directory:

• /usr/term (the only directory)
• /usr/bin/term
• /usr/bin/callin
• /usr/bin/callout

Each user may also have a .termsys file in his home directory. Delete those as well.

Installing TERM Professional 3.3 on Window NT 4.0, you may see the error “Sesman.exe unable to locate rasapi32.dll.” This happens when RAS is not installed in Windows NT. To bypass the error, either uncheck the Desktop Manager option in the TERM Professional install, or install the RAS option on Windows before installing TERM Professional.

Using TERM on AIX 3.2.5, you may have problems using modems. In particular, you may need to power the modem off and on after starting TERM for it to connect.  Setup strings are the same (ATZ\r) for all three Motorola modems. To resolve this, apply the most recent AIX 3.2.5.5 service pack.

When TERM for UNIX returns a “device busy” error, but there are no lockfiles, there is a permission problem.  Verify the following:

• Permissions on /usr/bin/callin and /usr/bin/callout must be 4755 (-rwsr-xr-x).
• Permissions on the full structure of /usr/spool/uucp or /var/spool/uucp (Linux) must be at least 666 (-rw-rw-rw-). The directory itself, plus every directory and file within it, must have those permissions or higher. Lockfiles are placed in this directory.
• Permissions on the tty port itself must be at least 666 (-rw-rw-rw-).

Using TinyTERM on Windows NT 4.0, installing a Windows service packmay cause registry errors. Uninstalling and reinstalling TinyTERM should fix this. If you still have problems after that, do the following:

1. Uninstall TinyTERM and NetUtils through Control Panel.
2. Click the Start button.
3. Select Run.
4. Type in regedit and click OK
5. Click the + sign next to HKEY_Current_User.
6. Click the + sign next to Software.
7. Delete any “Century Software” or “NCD Software” folders.
8. Click the + sign next to HKEY_Local_Machine
9. Click the + sign next to Software.
10. Delete any “Century Software” or “NCD Software” folders.
11. Close the Registry Editor.
12. Open Windows Explorer or My Computer.
13. Delete any Century folders from C:\ and C:\Program Files.
14. Go to the Windows folder.
15. Delete any marathon.* or marsetup.* files listed there.
16. Reboot the PC.
17. Now install TinyTERM.

Using TinyTERM 3.3 with Citrix Winframe on Windows NT 3.51, it works properly on a client until it logs out. At this point the session on the Unix server is closed, but the TinyTERM window stays open. The only way to get rid of the window is through Task Manager.

Century Software, Inc., has never supported TinyTERM 3.3 or earlier versions in a terminal services environment. However, it may help to uninstall TinyTERM and run Scandisk on the hard drive. When that’s done, reboot and reinstall Tiny Term.
