1. The 32 bit version of NetTerm requires the Microsoft msvcrt40.dll and it must be in your Windows directory. A copy of this dll can be downloaded from our WWW homepage under downloading sites. http://starbase.neosoft.com/~zkrr01 2. I am having trouble pasting text into the NetTerm window. I am having trouble doing an ascii file transfer. NetTerm uses two timing values to both paste text and send ascii files to a host. These can be specified by selecting the Options|Setup|Global Settings|File Transfer Tab. Normally Delay-1 should be 20 and Delay-2 should be 200. 3. I can't get NetTerm to save my phone book entries. This is normally happens when you unzip and install NetTerm in the same directory. You must unzip the NetTerm distribution in a temporary directory, then install into it's permanent directory. 4. Will NetTerm work with netcom? The basic telnet client of NetTerm will work with the netcom TCP/IP software, but not the zmodem or FTP server. We are currently working on ways to resolve this. NetTerm will however work completely if you use a winsock such as Trumpet instead of the normal netcom software. We have included a script file, netcom.txt, which can be used with Trumpet to access netcom. Based upon our tests with netcom, the purchase of Trumpet WinSock is a very wise investment and will make your WWW surfing much faster and enjoyable. You should also take a look at http://www.ix.netcom.com/faq/pc for additional information. 5. Will the FTP Server work with BBS's that support this feature? Yes, we have tried it with bbs.execpc.com and got excellent results. 6. Will the NetTerm zmodem file transfer work with my BBS over the Internet? The hard facts are, some BBS's support the zmodem protocol fully and some do not. Also, it appears that some BBS's treat Internet based zmodem requests as the lowest of low on the priorty list of things to get done. So much so, we have observed file transfers at 100 bytes per second! Others can transfer files at the speed of your logon modem baud rate. Transfer speeds will also vary with the number of logged in users. It's worth the time to give it a try if you have Internet access and normally dial long distance to your BBS. It could save you a lot of money if your BBS supports it. 7. Will NetTerm work with the Netscape WWW client? Yes, just define NetTerm to Netscape by using Netscape's Options, Preferences menu. Select the "Applications and Directories" tab. On the line "Telnet Application", use the browse button to locate NetTerm and you ready to telnet directly from Netscape. 8. How do I adjust the size of the NetTerm window? The size of the main window depends upon three values, the number of rows, the number of columns and most important, the size of the font. In most cases, the rows and columns remain fixed at 24x80 so the font size is really what determines the overall size of the screen. If you have a need to just monitor a site, chose a small font size from the font dialog box. If you have a large monitor, and want a really big display then just double an existing value displayed in the font dialog box. For example, if you are using the font isi_oem and you see the value 10 displayed in the font dialog box, type in 20 and you will get a large window size. 9. How do I get the correct international characters for my country? NetTerm has the ability to map both the keyboard and video with the use of country tables. The country table can be defined by host, using the 'Mapping' push button within the phone directory. A country table must be created by copying the country.ini file to another file prefixed with the desired country name, such as norway.ini. Then define this mapping file to one of your hosts and use the Options-Setup-International menu to map both the video and keyboard sections. The example file norway.ini contains the following mappings: Video KeyBoard Normal KeyBoard Shifted 0x7b --> 0xe6 0x1a --> 0x7d 0x1a --> 0x5d 0x7c --> 0xf8 0x27 --> 0x7c 0x27 --> 0x5c 0x7d --> 0xe5 0x28 --> 0x7b 0x28 --> 0x5b 0x5b --> 0xc6 0x5c --> 0xd8 Note that the keyboard mapping uses 0x5d --> 0xc5 the unique Windows key scan code. The Options-Setup-International menu also has a global flag that will enable/disable mapping for all hosts. InterSoft will accept unique country files and will include them in the normal distribution of NetTerm. Once you have tested out your country file, email to the address shown in the About box. 10. How can I print files that contain binary HP escape sequences? The program netsend.c should be uploaded to your host and compiled. This program is designed to handle files with binary HP printer control sequences and extremely long lines which would normally not work correctly with the standard netprint script file. 11. For the Unix WordPerfect users, from one of our clients: A hint: If any other Netterm users inquire about using your telnet with WP5.2+ for Unix, ensure they use 386CONS as the value for the environment variable WPTERM52 when using KEYS-WORDPERFECT. Even though they are actually using vt100 emulation, this will ensure the system anticipates the correct codes. 12. The protection logic for versions 3.2.0 and higher has been changed to allow more complete control of the toolbar, menu items, and submenu items. A new file named protect.ini has been included with the NetTerm distribution which controls the new protection logic. This file can be located anywhere and it's location is specified in the netterm.ini file with the PROTECTFILE keyword. To enable protection, set the PROTECT keyword to a 1. For example, to enable protection using a protect.ini file located on D: drive in the data directory, place the following in the netterm.ini file: PROTECT=1 PROTECTFILE=D:\DATA\PROTECT.INI The protect.ini file has three major areas. They are: Toolbar Protection - Control icons displayed on the toolbar Menu Protection - Controls the high level menu items Sub menu Protection - Controls individual sub menu items To disable a icon, menu item or sub menu item, simply change the value ON to OFF. If you turn off a high level menu, it is not necessary to turn off it's lower level menu items. 13. Can I use the SmartButtons to select a menu item such as Print Screen? Yes, if you place ~99999 in the Transmitted Key Data field (where 99999 is one of the menu item codes) NetTerm will select that menu item. Refer to the following table for value menu item codes. 14. Can I use the Smartbuttons to run a script? Yes, once you are logged on you can run simple scripts to automate long key sequences. Simply place an @ character as the first character in the Transmitted Key Data field, followed by the complete script filename. For example: @\netterm\scripts\runtime.txt Keep in mind that this feature is currently in development and selected script commands may not work. 15. I can't get the modem to be silent while dialing, why not? NetTerm recently changed the way it sets the modem up in order to handle some of the newer PCMCIA modems on the market. If your current modem setup sting looks something like: AT %F1 M0 S11=40 S2=128 change it to: AT%F1\rATM0\rATS11=40 S2=128 The ATM0 portion of the command is what tells the modem to be silent. // NetTerm Menu Items // File Menu #define IDM_CONNECT 10000 #define IDM_DISCONNECT 10001 #define IDM_PHONE 10002 #define IDM_BBSLIST 10003 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_10004 10004 #define IDM_PRINT 10005 #define IDM_SETUP 10006 #define IDM_SPRINT 10007 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_10008 10008 #define IDM_LOGPRINT 10009 #define IDM_LOGFILE 10010 #define IDM_EJECTP 10011 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_10012 10012 #define IDM_TPON 10013 #define IDM_TPOFF 10014 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_10015 10015 #define IDM_EXIT 10016 // Edit Menu #define IDM_SCB 11001 #define IDM_RCB 11002 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_11003 11003 #define IDM_RESET 11004 #define IDM_ERESET 11005 #define IDM_SBREAK 11006 #define IDM_LBREAK 11007 #define IDM_AP 11008 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_11009 11009 #define IDM_SAVESCREEN 11010 #define IDM_CLEAR 11011 #define IDM_CLEARS 11012 #define IDM_SAVEAS 11013 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_11014 11014 #define IDM_PASTEIPA 11015 #define IDM_PASTEIP 11016 // Options Menu // Setup Main #define IDM_FONT 12000 #define IDM_SETTINGS 12001 #define IDM_ANSIC 12002 #define IDM_KB1 12003 #define IDM_DESKTOP 12004 #define IDM_DBBAR 12005 #define IDM_PIN 12006 #define IDM_SETTELNET 12007 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_12008 12008 // International Video/Keyboard #define IDM_SS 12300 #define IDM_AM 12301 #define IDM_VM 12302 #define IDM_KM 12303 // Options Tools #define IDM_FINGER 12400 #define IDM_RESOLVE 12401 #define IDM_MYIP 12402 #define IDM_FTPD 12403 #define IDM_PRINTER 12404 // Options Trace #define IDM_TRACE1 12501 #define IDM_TRACE2 12502 // Send Menu #define IDM_SASCII 906 #define IDM_SKERMIT 905 #define IDM_SZMODEM 900 // Receive Menu #define IDM_RASCII 916 #define IDM_RKERMIT 915 #define IDM_RZMODEM 917 // Window Menu #define IDM_NEWWINDOW 15000 #define IDM_QUICK 15001 #define IDM_EDITOR 15002 #define IDM_TITLE 15003 #define IDM_SAVEXY 15004 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_15004 15005 #define IDM_HOSTSTART 15500 #define IDM_HOSTEND 15549 // Help Menu #define IDM_HELP 16000 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_16001 16001 #define IDM_ORDERING 16002 #define IDM_REGISTER 16003 #define IDM_LEGAL 16004 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_16005 16005 #define IDM_ABOUT 16006 // Mouse Menu #define IDM_URL 17000 #define IDM_PSTRING1 17001 #define IDM_PSTRING2 17002 #define IDM_BBSDOOR 17003 #define IDM_SKEY 17004 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_17005 17005 #define IDM_MSCB 17006 #define IDM_MRCB 17007 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_17008 17008 #define IDM_MCLEAR 17009 #define IDM_MPRINT 17010 #define IDM_ESCROLL 17011 #define IDM_PSCROLL 17012 #define IDM_PRINTH 17013 #define IDM_SHOWCLIP 17014 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_17014 17015 #define IDM_MRESET 17016 #define IDM_MCLEARS 17017 #define IDM_MSAVEAS 17018 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_17019 17019 #define IDM_MPASTEIPA 17020 #define IDM_MPASTEIP 17021 #define IDM_SEPARTOR_17022 17022 #define IDM_NOOP 17023
