Starting TinyTERM 3.3 on Windows 95 may give the error, “CTL3D32.DLL error.” Replacing the file does not fix the issue.

This happens when there are too many ctl3d32.xxx and ctl3d32.dll files on the PC. Remove all copies of both files, except the one in C:\Windows\System. Then reboot the PC.

TERM version 6.2.5 for AIX has a problem with the install script. The script has extraneous ^M characters that throw it off. To bypass the error, follow the manual install instructions.

TERM has several of the function keys preset for certain actions, such as opening the menu or help. You can reset those by editing the .termsys file in UNIX, or the term.sys file in DOS. Search the file for lines that start with the word setkey; for example:

setkey f1 menu

Change the word after the function key name (in this example, menu) to reset:

setkey f1 reset

This will reset the keys to their default values the next time you start TERM.

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.

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.

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.

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.
