In TinyTERM for iPad versions 1.2.0 and 1.2.1, SCOANSI emulation does not draw all lines properly. This is specific to graphics drawn with extended ASCII characters, not the characters drawn with alternate font sets. There is no TinyTERM setting that will change this.

CR 945

At the SCO UNIX console, the sequence \033[0m resets the text attributes. It removes all bold, reverse, blink, etc., characteristics, and restores the colors to their defined defaults, normally white text on a black background.

When TinyTERM is configured for SCOANSI emulation, \033[0m restores all text attributes to normal except color. If the colors have been changed, they stay changed.

The documentation is a little ambiguous. It reads in part:

Disable all attribute modifiers (bold, underline, italic, reverse video, concealed and blinking). In the default mode, set the font back to font 0. In backwards compatibility mode, only set the font if the SGR0 control option is set . . .

There is no mention of color at all. So whether or not TinyTERM is acting correctly is not strictly defined.

This was reported using TinyTERM 4.20 to run an Informix 4GL application. It displays improperly in some spots. It’s always the same spots in the application, and can be traced to the screen position code \033[4;2H losing the leading escape character. Refreshing the Informix application fixes the problem, but it happens consistently in some screens. Other emulators do not exhibit the problem.

In WordPerfect 8.0 for UNIX, TinyTERM does not work properly with the macro editor. For example, the sentence:

What is the number

should appear in the editor as:

What·is·the·number

Although it types in as “What is the number” and appears as such the first time, when you go back into the macro it appears as “Whatisthenumber”. When the cursor runs over the text, the text then moves right or left, making it impossible to edit correctly. This was reported in SCOANSI emulation.

CR 461

Configure TinyTERM for SCOANSI emulation, then connect to a SCO UNIX system. Go to a shell prompt. When you hit the Delete key, the cursor moves one position to the right on each key press. This is normal behavior, not a bug.

CR 91

If the terminal emulation in TinyTERM is set to any emulation that uses \033[5i as the transparent print on code — SCOANSI, ANSI, VT220, etc. — printing to the Windows printer produces no output. If you check Bypass Printer Drivers, then it works, provided the printer allows it. This only affects TinyTERM 4.42.

CR 720, fixed in TinyTERM 4.43

The SCO UNIX command setcolor allows the user to change the foreground and background colors. TinyTERM 4.20 does not respond properly to this. The background changes, but the text continues to be typed in TinyTERM’s default colors. This is fixed in TinyTERM 4.21.

CR 248

SCOANSI emulation allows a host program to send \033[m to return text attributes to their default values. TinyTERM versions prior to 4.20 ignore this command. There is no patch for this issue.

CR 104, fixed in TinyTERM 4.20.

While using TinyTERM 4.03, the keyboard may lock up, causing TinyTERM to stop responding to your typing. Moving the mouse frees up the keyboard.

This is a known issue with that version of TinyTERM. There is no patch. The only solution is to use a newer version of TinyTERM.

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.
