Installation 1) Copy all files included in the distribution package to an empty directory (folder) of your choice. 2) If you are using Windows NT, install TTERMPRO.EXE in Program Manager with its icon. If you are using Windows 95, create a shortcut for TTERMPRO.EXE in a folder of your choice, or in the Start menu, or on the desktop. If you want to connect to a host by telnet, the host name can be specified as a parameter in the command line (shortcut link). See CMNDLINE.TXT. If you want to connect to a host by a serial port, command line parameters can be omitted. Specify "Working directory" as the directory in which TTERMPRO.EXE exists. 3) To use the DEC special font, install the font TSPECIAL.TTF in Windows by using Control Panel. When you uninstall or upgrade Tera Term later, unistall the font using Control Panel. This font is used automatically by Tera Term. You can not select it in the [Setup] font dialog box. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Usage If you have a previous version of Tera Term, note that this version of Tera Term and the previous one can not run simultaneously. Close all old Tera Term sessions before running the new Tera Term session. Re-using old setup files with this version of Tera Term is not recommended. The first time you run Tera Term, the General Setup dialog box appears. Choose the port type ("TCP/IP" or "Serial") you mainly use, and the language type "English". Click the Ok button, then the Tera Term window appears. If you choose the port type as "TCP/IP", the New connection dialog box (to enter the host name to be connected) is displayed after the Tera Term window appears. If you want to change the setup before the first connection is started, click the Cancel button here. You can view the help file for usage, by using the [Help] Index command. See KEYCODE.TXT for a description of the keyboard setup. See TTMACRO.TXT for a description of scripts. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Known Problems TTMACRO.EXE and KEYCODE.EXE, included in the distribution package, are 16-bit executable files. Long macro filenames are not supported. The Kermit Send, ZMODEM Send, and Quick-VAN Send dialog boxes do not support filenames which contain the space characters, such as "abc def.dat". They are displayed in DOS format, like "abcdef~.dat". ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 8.
