If you cannot get the FTP server to work on Windows 98, disable the Internet services. Then locate the file inetd.exe in the Century directory and run it. That will allow you to access and configure the FTP server manually.

When using FTP to transfer a text file to an AS/400 system, you may see the message, “Extra data found at the end of the record.” Only one line of the file will transfer in this case.This happens when the transfer mode is set to binary. To send a text file, you must set the mode to ASCII. It will then successfully transfer the file.

If fonts aren’t scaling properly in TinyTERM version 3.x, first verify you have the “Scale to window” option checked. If that’s set, but the font is still too small, duplicate TERM fonts are causing the problem.

To fix that, go the Windows fonts folder. Look for the fonts named term*.fon; i.e., term480.fon, term600.fon, etc. Delete all but the highest-numbered one. The next time you start TinyTERM, the fonts should scale properly.

TinyTERM Plus or TERM Professional 3.3 installed in Windows 3.x. After the install, when Windows starts you may get two errors:

Cannot find syslog.dll
Cannot find file winsock.dll

Both of these files should be in the C:\Windows and C:\Windows\System directories. Copy them from their current location to both directories.

To get the winsock.dll file, you may need uninstall and reinstall TinyTERM. When you get to the screen that allows you to select which components you want to install, select the Century TCP/IP. You may be asked about installing a secondary network. This is what you want to select.

Before you start the install check your System.ini file. Search or Find the word “network” and take note of what is there. You will want to put these settings back in after the install if they change in any way.

If TinyTERM gives errors when trying to use the dialer or on boot, it usually means the PC does not have networking installed. To fix the errors, uninstall TinyTERM and reboot the PC. When you reinstall TinyTERM, uncheck Network Utilities and any other network option.

Installing TinyTERM 3.3 to drive D: will cause it to give this error on start. You must install TinyTERM 3.3 to the C: drive.

Installing TinyTERM 3.3 on Windows 95 may produce an error message that the product is only for DOS. When this happens, copy the contents of the TinyTERM CD to a temporary directory on the hard drive. Reboot the PC in safe mode, then install TinyTERM from the hard drive copy.

This error means that either TCP/IP is not installed, or there is a problem with the Winsock.dll file. It may be corrupted, or missing.

You may also have too many Winsock.dll files on the PC. This occurs when TCP/IP has been reinstalled multiple times. Remove it entirely in this case, then delete all copies of Winsock.dll. Restart Windows and reinstall TCP/IP at that point.

Multiple file transfers in a TERM for UNIX script can cause error 1204. It usually happens after using the OK button to acknowledge that a file has been sent. The OK button sends a ^C, causing a script abort.

The workaround is to turn off the transfer status window before the transfer. The command to do that is:

set xferstat off

It can be put in the script anywhere, as long as it executes before any file transfers.

This error comes up on Windows systems using HP printers. Some include the HP Printer Tool Box. If that’s running on your PC, it will interfere with TinyTERM’s printing. Close down the Tool Box to get rid of this error.
