On SCO UnixWare 7.1, if you enable uucp in the devices file, you can still use TERM. It will dial and connect normally, but the display is scrambled. No more than half a screen comes through visibly. If uucp is disabled, TERM works fine.

CR 291

You can use WinZip and similar programs to create .zip archives on an NFS drive. This works properly on Windows 95 or 98 systems. On Windows NT systems a .tmp file is created, but the .zip archive creation fails with an error that it cannot rename the file.

CR 282

If you use TERM for SCO UNIX to transfer a file to a directory that does not exist, TERM drops the connection.

CR 280

This error has only been seen on the IBM Thinkpad T21 using an IBM 10/100 Ethernet Mini-PCI Adapter with 56k Modem (MiniPCI Combo), running on Windows 2000. Any attempt to use TAPI in TinyTERM gives, “Error (4555) Get property ‘IsConnected’ failed: Invalid object instance.”

No other TAPI-using application gives an error. Updating the modem drivers does not work. However, connecting directly to the COM port and dialing the modem manually works.

Century Software, Inc., has had a request to add a feature to TinyTERM that would delete a file from the host after downloading it to the PC. This has not been implemented thus far.

CR 272

TinyTERM Web Server Client writes the file censoft.log to the directory specified by the Windows environment variable “windir.” System administrators sometimes lock users out of the C:\WINNT directory, the normal value for “windir,” for security reasons. This causes TinyTERM Web Server Client to generate errors when it tries to write to censoft.log.

CR 271

You can disable the splash screen in TinyTERM 4.x with the -nosplash command-line parameter. Century Software, Inc., has received requests to make this available in the user interface as well. That has not been implemented thus far.

CR 27

TinyTERM 4.53 includes two CScript commands that will get the current cursor position: te.GetCaretRow() and te.GetCaretCol(). Each returns an integer that gives the position of the cursor relative to the upper left corner of the TinyTERM window. Both commands can be used in earlier versions of TinyTERM 4.x, but only for the TN3270 emulation.

There is no command in TERM or TinyTERM that will set the current cursor position, as understood by the host system. Century Software, Inc., has received requests for a script command to do this, but that has not yet been implemented.

CR 269, get cursor position
CR 526, set cursor position

When you configure TERM or TinyTERM for ASCII format data capture, it captures and writes to file every character in the ASCII range 0-255. This includes control characters such as ^T and the escape character. There is no way to prevent this behavior.

CR 263

You can only open one copy of a given .tpx inside a web browser. To open multiple connections to a single host, you must open a different .tpx file for each connection. You cannot work around this by opening two browser windows, or two tabs in a single browser. You must open all .tpx files in a single browser window.

In addition, each .tpx file must have its own session name. To change that, go to TinyTERM’s File menu and select File Properties. The Session name is the first field listed.

CR 259, multiple .tpx files in a browser
CR 359, multiple browsers
