TinyTERM for iPad uses a fixed amount of space for its custom keyboards, roughly the same screen area used by the standard iPad keyboard. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to make that amount of space adjustable. In particular, fewer keyboard rows would free up screen space for emulator display.

Using IBM3151 emulation, TinyTERM for iPad and TinyTERM ITX display letters where lines should be drawn instead. This works properly in TinyTERM for Windows.

CR 934, fixed in TinyTERM ITX 1.0.5

TinyTERM for iPad and TinyTERM ITX both include PCTERM emulation. However, it fails when scancodes are required.

This is due to the lack of a Windows keyboard interface. Scancodes are generated automatically by Windows keyboards, but are not used in most other operating systems. So on non-Windows platforms, the scancodes are not available.

Century Software has had a report that TinyTERM for iPad hangs when attempting a connection via VPN. We have not been able to duplicate this in TinyTERM version 1.2. The original report is as follows:

“Enable and connect the iPad VPN. Then connect to a host system through TinyTERM. It will tend to lock up, no connection visible. Once in a while it will connect and work properly, but generally it will lock up at connection time and stay that way. Closing TinyTERM is the only option.”

TinyTERM for Windows allows the user to select between block and underscore cursors. It can also have the cursor blink or remain solid. Century Software has received a request to add these options to TinyTERM for iPad.

TinyTERM for iPad includes a capsKey option for its keyboard, which can be used to create a “Caps Lock” key. There is no equivalent for the shiftTo option, which would allow the function or keypad keys to remain on screen until the shift key was pressed again.

A shiftLock option was added in TinyTERM version 1.2.0. Documentation was also added to the keyboard reference.

TinyTERM for iPad allows a telnet connection to port 25, common when connecting to a mail server. The connection is successful, but no data is displayed. This also affects HTTP servers running on port 80.

CR 921

TinyTERM for Windows allows users to enable or disable display of text attributes set by the host. For example, blinking text can be turned off, have its color changed, etc.

Neither TinyTERM for iPad nor TinyTERM ITX has this capability, other than providing an alternate color option for bold text. Century Software has had a request to add this capability for all text attributes.

CR 919

TinyTERM for iPad originally did not include a Caps Lock key. That functionality was added in version 1.1.1.

There is a workaround for earlier versions. While using a custom keyboard layout, hold down the right Shift key, then hold the left Shift key for a second. This will lock the keyboard in Shift state. To turn off this shift lock, hide the keyboard, then restore it by tapping the screen once.

CR 915, added in version 1.1.1
