Data Capture Causes Line Feeds to Display Incorrectly
April 20th, 2007

This problem only occurs when capturing to a file in binary or ASCII mode. If you display text with bare line feeds, it does not show correctly until you refresh the screen. You can do that by minimizing TinyTERM, or by bringing up another application in front of TinyTERM. This was fixed in TinyTERM 4.30.

Position-Dependent Return Value for Te.Wait()
April 20th, 2007

The CScript command te.wait() allows multiple-case wait strings; e.g.,

return_value = te.wait(“my name^S|^Syour name”,0);

which will return 0 if either “my name” or “your name” is received. The WAIT command in TERM Script Language allows a similar structure:

wait “my name|your name”

but the return value is position-dependent. In the above example “my name” would return 0 to the _retval variable, and “your name” would return 1.

This functionality was added to te.wait() in TinyTERM 4.30.

Print to File Appends Second File to First
April 20th, 2007

On Windows NT 4.0, when TinyTERM prints to a file, the second file is appended to the first, even when you change the file name in TinyTERM. This was fixed in TinyTERM 4.20.

Linux Emulation Display Problems
April 20th, 2007

In some full-screen applications, text isn’t drawn properly. Text color may not shift properly. Some characters may be underlined when they shouldn’t be. The alignment may be off.

These are all related to changes made in the Linux console alongside various kernel updates. They were corrected in TinyTERM 4.40.

Binary Capture Converts Bare LF to CR/LF
April 20th, 2007

A binary data capture that receives hex 0A (line feed) not preceded by hex 0D (carriage return) adds the CR just before the line feed. This should only happen in ASCII data captures. This was corrected in TinyTERM 4.40.

Te.Cread() Doesn’t Read Properly
April 20th, 2007

The te.cread() command does not work properly in early versions of TinyTERM. If you set it up not to time out, but read a specific number of characters, it will not read all the characters you specify. Instead it will complete its action after an unknown amount of characters are read. This was corrected in TinyTERM 4.30.

Check for Installed Printer
April 20th, 2007

TinyTERM 4.x versions prior to 4.30 do not check for the existence of a Windows printer until you try to print to it. This makes it possible to configure TinyTERM to print to an existing Windows printer, save that setting, then delete the printer from Windows. When you try to print from TinyTERM after that, an error pops up.

This was corrected in TinyTERM 4.30. TinyTERM now checks for available Windows printers on start. If the currently selected printer does not exist, a usable printer will automatically be selected.

Programmed Mouse Buttons Ignored by TN3270 and TN5250
April 20th, 2007

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.

Century FTP Client Won’t Accept UNKNOWN as First Item
April 20th, 2007

Create an FTP session using the graphical Century FTP Client. From the Session menu, select View/Sort, or go to the View/Sort tab in the Configuration dialog. In the Directory Item Structure at the bottom, make UNKNOWN the first word. Save the settings. When you connect, there’s a program error and Ftp32.exe crashes. This was fixed in TinyTERM Plus 4.30.
