- INSTALLATION PROBLEMS ?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- When you run INSTALL.EXE, the files 0202TER1._XE and
- 0202TER2._XE (and, optionally, other files 0202TER?._XE)
- all need to be in the same directory.
-
- If you encounter any problems with our low level
- installation routines (music, screen, etc,) then:
-
- 1) run INSTALL.EXE /NOINTRO instead...
-
- OR
-
- 2) Try rebooting with a `vanilla flavour' CONFIG.SYS
- and AUTOEXEC.BAT with no TSRs and making sure that
- you specify at least Files=40
-
-
- If INSTALL.EXE finished work, but you're having problems
- starting TERM.EXE, then try to run TERM.EXE with appropriate
- parameters:
-
- /NOEMS - to disable EMS usage
- and/or
- /NOXMS - to disable XMS usage
- and/or
- /FASTCONFIG[=port[,speed]] - to pass through all the
- configuration questions
- and configure Terminate
- manually (by setting the
- port, bps, etc, etc)
-
- or run T.BAT ? for available command-line switches.
-
-
- MEMORY REQUIREMENTS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Terminate needs at least 550k of conventional (`below 640k')
- free memory to run.
- (2MB extended or expanded memory can be used when you shell out
- and is, therefore, highly recommended but will not remove the
- REQUIREMENT for at least 550k of conventional (`below 640k')
- memory so use another terminal program if you can not achieve
- this minimum figure!)
-
- If you load Terminate using the /DBG switch you will be able to
- keep an eye on memory useage...
-
-
- MOUSE PROBLEMS ?
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Try toggling PECULIAR MOUSE in CHANGE CONFIGURATION, TOGGLES
- ( [ALT][O], [T], toggle Peculiar mouse on/off )
-
-
- PROBLEMS IN MULTITASKING ENVIRONMENTS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Absence of an adequate FIFO Chip (eg: 16550 UART) may cause
- problems with data loss (refer to further technical
- documentation...)
-
- If you experience Screen corruption or data loss even with an
- adequate FIFO, then try using FOSSIL (such as Ray Gwinn's SIO
- for OS/2 Warp) or increase the VDM session priority.
-
- Unexpected CARRIER DROP - try to increase session priority or
- try to use a FOSSIL driver instead of direct COM port access.
-
-
- DATA LOSS PROBLEMS UNDER DOS
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- Problems may also occur when running Terminate on 'slow' computers
- or if the Terminate overlay file is not able to be loaded into EMS
- or XMS.
- These problems relate to Terminate's internal 'multitasking'
- kernel and are similar to problems in a multitasking environment.
-
- Our suggestions are:
- 1. Do not open windows other than the terminal window before and
- during file transfers
- 2. Try to increase the input buffer size in Communication setup,
- Receive Buffer Size:
- [Alt][O], [C], select device, [Enter], [R]
- 3. Try to decrease Baud:
- [Alt][O], [C], select device, [Enter], [B]
-
-
- KEYBOARD
- ~~~~~~~~
- If you are using an 83-keys keyboard, Change Enhanced keyboard
- setting in toggles:
- [Alt][O], [T], Enhanced keyboard OFF
-
-
- UNRESOLVED PROBLEM(S)
- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
- If you STILL have problems, check out the comms gurus on your local
- BBS or the various nets.
-
- But NOT before you have tried a `vanilla flavoured' system:
-
- 1) Create backup and archived copies of your original AUTOEXEC.BAT
- and CONFIG.SYS files
-
- 2) Edit both files to remark out ALL lines that are not ABSOLUTELY
- VITAL to boot your system: especially TSR's and Soundblaster
- drivers and including memory management software such as QEMM.
- (type "rem " at the beginning of each line you wish to render
- temporarily operational)
-
- Make sure, though, that you have a
- Files=25
- statement (25 is the absolute minimum number of file handles
- needed) and, of course, whatever keyboard driver you need. Remove
- the mouse driver at this point, though.
-
- 3) Reboot your system and Terminate should run OK.
-
- 4) Reinstate each line you previously remarked out until you discover
- the culprit line that causes hiccups anew.
-
-
- If the unpack procedure completed normally, and you've tried all
- the advice above, but you STILL have problems, then please run
- REPORT.BAT ? to create a report file for us.
