There are several errors in the STD 1253 Windows Greek Code Page used for received data. For example, the lower-case Zeta, Xi and upper-case Omega characters are incorrect. They should be ζ, ξ and Ω respectively.

To fix this problem, download this patch. It contains two files, codepage.dat for use with TinyTERM, and cp1253.ttcodepage for use with TinyTERM for iPad.

To use codepage.dat, locate the existing copy of the file in the TinyTERM directory, normally C:/Program Files/Century/TinyTERM. Rename that file as a backup, then copy this version of the file into the same directory. The next time you start TinyTERM, the corrected file will be in use.

To use cp1253.ttcodepagewith TinyTERM for iPad, follow the instructions for syncing filesin the TinyTERM for iPad documentation.

CR 933, fixed in TinyTERM 4.7.0
