- TinyTerm 1.0 - (c) Copyright 1991 by Robert Woeger. All rights reserved.
-
-
- Tinyterm is just what its name implies - a Tiny Terminal program for the PC.
- It is meant for those who want a low cost ANSI-BBS compatible terminal program
- that works great with "SHELL" file transfer protocol programs such as DSZ by
- Omen Technology. With a file transfer protocol driver such as DSZ (obtainable
- on most bulletin boards in the country as DSZxxxx where xxxx is the version #),
- you can take advantage of the latest in file transfer methods. So if you like
- Zmodem, YModem Batch, Bi-Modem, PUMA, Lynx, SEAlink, etc. you can have a go at
- them using your favorite protocol program + TinyTerm.
-
- TinyTerm is not crippled or inferior in any way! It is a full terminal program
- that has these great features:
-
- ...Full ANSI-BBS screen code support - for great ANSI screens
- ...A large 4096 byte send and a 4096 byte receive buffer for those
- fast modems (38,400 etc.). All serial I/O is interrupt driven for
- maximum speed.
- ...Support for the 16550 UART's FIFO mode of operation
- ...Log file capability (log file name is LOGFILE.LOG)
- ...Shell to DOS feature for performing DOS commands and running programs
- while still remaining connected to the other computer
- ...Linefeed and Echo toggle capability as well as communication
- parameter changing from inside the program
- ...Batch file transmit and receive configurability for maximum control
- and options for your file transfer protocol program
- ...Works with COM1 and COM2 serial ports
- ...Takes up almost no memory at all
-
- Since TinyTerm takes up practically no space in memory or on your disk at all,
- it is great for the laptop PC or any machine where space is a problem.
-
- Why, TinyTerm you might ask? Where are all the bells and whistles of the big,
- expensive terminal emulation programs?
-
- We decided that TinyTerm should stay Tiny to keep the cost down, plus give
- users what they want. If you want a full-blown terminal program, we offer
- KRSTERM, our flagship terminal emulation program with file transfer protocols
- built-in, color customization, and many other options.
-
- The COST of TinyTerm is only $10.00! Yes, only $10.00! If you want the latest
- version on disk the cost is only $14.00. We thought you would like the Tiny
- price! So, we are distribution TinyTerm 1.0 as Shareware. You can copy it and
- give it away to others for evaluation purposes. You may use TinyTerm for a
- period of time not to exceed 30 days to try it out. After 30 days, you must
- either pay for it (register your copy for $10) or stop using it and erase it
- from your PC.
-
- Disk vendors and bulletin boards may distribute TinyTerm 1.0 as long as they
- don't charge a fee of more than $5 to obtain TinyTerm. Their fee is not
- for payment of the right to use/own TinyTerm, but is rather a disk duplication
- service fee.
-
- You may use TinyTerm on one PC per paid license (registration). Multiple
- copies can be purchased at a discount, and site licenses and package deals
- are available. Contact Kinsman-Redeemer Software for details.
-
- If you order TinyTerm from us and you get the latest version on disk, it will
- have a unique serial number that is assigned to you. Feel free to distribute
- your copy of TinyTerm to as many people you can think of! You will receive a
- $.75 commission for each sale we receive that has your serial number on the
- order form! Yes, you get a great program, plus optional commissions for
- helping to spread it around. So everyone benefits - you, your friends, and us.
- That's the way Shareware should have worked all along. Unfortunately, we at
- Kinsman-Redeemer Software are one of the few (as of 4/91) software houses that
- offer low-cost, good quality software with a commission incentive program.
-
- We pay commissions to our sales agents (you) after every quarter. To keep
- bookkeeping costs down, we only mail out checks if you have $10 or more in
- commissions, otherwise we hold it in your account until you have at least $10.
-
- We can't make any promises about how much money you will earn through our
- commission incentive program, but we can tell you that if you pass our
- program on to 10 people and they give it 7 people each, and they all register
- from your copy you would earn $60.00 in commissions. Just think if you would
- post it on every bulletin board in town and give it co-workers, computer clubs,
- and friends how many potential sales you would generate. The amount you make
- depends on how hard you work at distributing your serialized copy. Of course,
- you are under no obligation to participate in the commission program. It is
- optional. Just check the box on the order form indicating if you want to
- participate or not. Also, we have many other program for sale besides
- TinyTerm, so write us about obtaining our other Shareware programs (they work
- on the same commission basis as TinyTerm but with different commission rates
- depending on the retail purchase price of the program).
-
- See the file PAYFORME.DOC to pay for your copy of TinyTerm and get your
- serialized copy on disk (optional). Also check the box on the order form if
- you would like to receive a catalog of our quality Shareware library.

- Documentation for TinyTerm:
- __________________________
-
- To run TinyTerm the command format is:
-
- TINYTERM COM1 2400N81
-
- where COM1 is the coommunication port and can be either:
- COM1 or COM2
-
- where 2400N81 are the communication port settings and can be changed to:
-
- 2400N81 - 2400 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
- 9600N81 - 9600 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
- 38400N81 - 38400 baud, No parity, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit
- 19200N81 - 19200 baud " " "
- 1200E71 - 1200 baud, Even parity, 7 data bits, 1 stop bit
-
- or any valid combination of baud, parity, data bits, and stop bits
- not all valid speeds or combinations are listed above
-
- Simply make a batch file to run TINYTERM with your personal options in it.
-
-
- *** Press the F1 key once inside TinyTerm for a pop-up help window ***
-
-
- All options are listed on the help window and are self explanatory.
-
- The log file name is "LOGFILE.LOG".
-
- The upload (send) batch file name is SND.BAT and you will probably want
- to modify both the SND.BAT and RCV.BAT file to match your serial port number
- and file protocol program's options.
-
- They are currently set up for COM2 using Omen Technology's great DSZ program.
- Zmodem is the default. You must have DSZ.COM in the current directory to use
- the upload and download functions! DSZ can be obtained from most bulletin
- boards and disk vendors.
-
- The download (receive) batch file name is RCV.BAT. Modify it for your
- preferences also. It is set up for a DSZ Zmodem receive currently on COM2.
-
- See your DSZ documentation for batch file options. Options are typed in the
- TinyTerm window before it gives control to the SND.BAT or RCV.BAT file.
- TinyTerm simply passes your typed options to the batch file and it passes them
- to your file transfer protocol program.
-
- ANSI support is built into TinyTerm so the ANSI.SYS device driver need not be
- loaded from your CONFIG.SYS file.
-
- Type 'EXIT' to return to TinyTerm after you Shell to DOS to perform file
- functions. Otherwise your terminal session will remain connected and data
- may be lost or you may be disconnected for not responding to the other
- computer.
-
- The 4096 byte send and 4096 byte receive buffer should be adequate for all
- needs, but if you need a super-large input and/or receive buffer contact us
- for a custom version of TinyTerm.
-
- Please, don't forget to register your copy of TinyTerm. All comments and
- suggestions are appreciated and will be used to improve future versions of
- TinyTerm. Please enclose a SASE if you need a reply to a question, etc.
-
- TinyTerm is distributed "AS-IS" without any warranty. Please see the
- ABOUTKRS.DOC file included with this package for information about your
- software license. You may not modify TinyTerm in any way or distribute a
- modified copy. You can not sell TinyTerm except that disk vendors may
- charge a small disk duplication fee for their services in providing
- evaluation copies of TinyTerm to others.
-
- Thank you for your support! THanks to you Shareware works! Don't forget
- about our optional commission incentive program. See the PAYFORME.DOC
- file for ordering details.
