When TinyTERM Plus is configured to use TN5250 emulation, if you click the Setup button and select IBM 3477-FC (27 x 132), the screen goes blank and won’t display anything. If you then disconnect and re-connect, the screen will display again, but in 24 x 80 mode even though 27 x 132 is still selected.

Also, once you’ve done this, you can’t get back to the TN5250 setup dialog. It comes up with TN3270 setup information instead.

CR 108, blank screen
CR 814, TN3270

The TN3270 and TN5250 emulations only print in Courier New font, regardless of the font selected for screen display. This was changed in TinyTERM Plus 4.40, so that the display font would also be the font used for printing. To make this work, you must print to the Windows printer, with the Bypass Printer Drivers option not set.

CR 9

On disconnect, the TN3270 and TN5250 emulations will clear the screen automatically. This feature was added in TinyTERM Plus 4.40.

CR 627

The Newline key was added to the TN5250 keyboard chart in TinyTERM Plus 4.40.

CR 626

Support for device naming on AS/400 systems was added in TinyTERM Plus 4.40, for both TN3270 and TN5250 emulations.

CR 46, AS400

Connect four or more sessions in TinyTERM. Disconnect two or three of the sessions. The remaining sessions no longer reflect the keys in the interface nor send the keys to the server.

However, TinyTERM is not locked. You can open and close any number of sessions, and get response from the new sessions. In the bad sessions, the display is OK, and the cursor still flashes.

If the second or subsequent session uses TN3270 or TN5250 emulation, you don’t have to close the session to cause the problem. Clicking OK on the Session Properties is enough to cause the keyboard errors.

CR 441, fixed in TinyTERM 4.31
CR 445, duplicate

It is possible to program the mouse buttons in TinyTERM 4.x. However, the programming is ignored by the TN3270 and TN5250 emulations. This feature was added to those emulations in TinyTERM 4.30.

CR 380

Options set in TinyTERM Plus’ Printer Setup and Page Setup dialogs are ignored by TN3270 and TN5250 emulations. They always use the system defaults instead for print screens. This was fixed in TinyTERM 4.30.

CR 315

TN5250 emulation allows binary data capture for troubleshooting purposes. However, turning on data capture often opens the Page Setup dialog instead. If you click OK, the data is captured to the printer. This is fixed in TinyTERM Plus 4.40.

CR 172

The Exit button in the TN5250 emulator tool bar has the right half cut off. This is fixed in TinyTERM Plus 4.10.
