Using TinyTERM on Windows 95, it may give an error that it cannot find the Term font. When this happens, turn off the Windows 95 “TrueType only” setting.

When TERM for UNIX gives the error, “Non-expired lockfile lck..inittab,” make sure the permissions on the whole structure of /usr/spool/uucp are at least 666 (-rw-rw-rw-).

For TERM for Linux, the directory path is normally /var/spool/uucp. If TERM for Linux is configured for /usr/spool/uucp instead, this error will result even if permissions are correct on /var/spool/uucp.

CR 573, Linux spool directory fixed in TERM 6.28

Using TERM for Windows 7.2, transparent print jobs have correct line feeds, but no carriage returns. Printer output vanishes off the right edge of the page after about the third line. To fix this, you must add the PN and PS entries to the /etc/termcap entry for your terminal emulation.

TinyTERM version 4.x will run on Windows 95 or 98 if no Web browser is installed. It will run as a standalone application.

On such a system you may see error 1810 when installing TinyTERM. This is a cosmetic error that will not affect its functionality.

Using TERM Professional 3.3 on Windows 95, if you shut down the PC, it immediately reboots. If Century NFS is removed, the machine shuts down properly.

This is usually caused by a load order issue between NFS and TCP/IP. To clear it, remove NFS from the system, then remove TCP/IP. Reinstall NFS before adding TCP/IP back in.

Using TERM Professional 3.3 on Windows 95, you may get a blue screen error after adding the NFS client. When that happens, in the network properties add Microsoft IPX/SPX. If that does not resolve the issue, add the NetWare Client as well.

Using TinyTERM or TERM for Windows, Alt keys are ignored in the emulator by default, even if you’ve remapped them. Under the keyboard configuration there is a check box labeled, “Use Alt keys in emulation.” That needs to be set; otherwise, Windows uses the Alt keys.

Note that in TinyTERM versions prior to 4.0, and by extension all versions of TERM for Windows, that Alt-F4 can be remapped, but Windows will still read it. This will of course close the emulator, no matter what mapping you may have set for it.

Using TinyTERM 3.3 on Windows NT 3.51, you can use any network printer available to Windows. To set that up, do the following:

1. In TinyTERM, go to the Configure menu.
2. Select Printer or Data Capture/Printer.
3. In the printer section of the resulting dialog, enter the full path to the network printer as the “Printer file or device name.”
4. For the “Printer device,” use PRINTMNGR if it’s the default Windows printer. Otherwise, use DEVICE.

After uninstalling TinyTERM Plus or TERM Professional from Windows 95, you may see the error, “A required DLL file NCDMFCX.DLL was not found.” To fix this, manually remove Marathon Internet Services from the registry:

1. Click the Start button and select Run.
2. Type regedit, then click OK.
3. Click the + symbol next to “HKEY_Local_Machine.”
4. Click the + symbol next to “Software.”
5. Click the + symbol next to “Microsoft.”
6. Click the + symbol next to “Windows.”
7. Click the + symbol next to “CurrentVersion.”
8. Click the + symbol next to “Run.”
9. Delete “Marathon Internet Services” from the keys on the right.
10. Exit regedit.

In TinyTERM version 4.x for Windows, you can have multiple IP addresses or telephone numbers in one .tpx file. For each phone number or address you want to use, open the Session Properties and enter it in the “Host name, IP address or phone number” line. Click OK, then save the session. Repeat this until you have entered them all. Make sure “Establish connection on open” is not checked.

To choose from the listed numbers, open the Session Properties. The “Host name, IP address or phone number” line will be a drop-down list, showing your multiple addresses and phone numbers. Select the one you want, then click OK. Connect as usual.
