Can’t Communicate Through Digi PortServer
May 3rd, 2007

TERM for Linux does not communicate through the Digi PortServer at all. It connects to the tty port generated, but there’s no response after that. The remote system doesn’t see anything you type in TERM, and TERM doesn’t echo anything back from the host.

.tpx Key Size Limit
May 3rd, 2007

Each key in the .tpx file is limited to 512 bytes in length. That includes the key name, the equals sign =, and the carriage return at the end of the line. So for example, the “node=” line is limited to 506 bytes of node information.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to increase that limit. In particular, long lists of installed Windows printers can fill 512 bytes quickly.

Caps Lock Status Display
May 3rd, 2007

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to display the status of Caps Lock in the emulator window. The most likely place for such a feature would be the Status Bar at the bottom of the TinyTERM window.

Text Selection Not Cleared on Screen Changes
May 3rd, 2007

Program a mouse button to the string “%o%p”, which will copy selected text and paste it at the current cursor location. Select some text near the top of the TinyTERM window, then click the programmed mouse button. The selected text is pasted at the prompt normally.

Hit Enter a few times to move the selected text off screen. Right-click again without selecting new text. The area of the screen you originally selected will be copied, instead of just pasting in what should be on the clipboard. TinyTERM actually picks up the current text at the previously selected location.

Alt-Shift Function Keys
May 3rd, 2007

Numeric Keypad Fails in TVI950 Block Mode
May 3rd, 2007

With TVI950 emulation in block mode, you can input data from the numeric keys on the main keyboard, but not from the numeric keypad. With NumLock off, the arrow keys on the numeric keypad move the cursor correctly in block mode. Outside block mode, the numeric keypad works properly.

SecureFT Date Format
May 3rd, 2007

SecureFT displays the date for local files in dd/mm/yyyy format. Century Software, Inc., has had a request to make the date format changeable.

Form Feeds Ignored in Spooled Print Jobs
May 3rd, 2007

Configure TinyTERM to print to a Windows printer, with Bypass Printer Drivers and Spool Print Jobs set. Send a transparent print job that includes form feed characters (^L, ASCII value 12). They may be ignored, depending on the print job.
