What is HyperTerminal Private Edition?
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
HyperTerminal Private Edition is a more powerful version of
|
|
Hilgraeve's HyperTerminal communications program, which Microsoft
|
|
includes in every copy of Windows 95. HyperTerminal PE is
|
|
distributed free by Hilgraeve in the hope that you will enjoy it
|
|
and someday buy our full-featured program, HyperACCESS.
|
|
|
|
You can download HyperTerminal Private Edition, Version 1.1
|
|
now from Hilgraeve's web page (http://www.hilgraeve.com) or the
|
|
HyperTerminal BBS (313-243-9957). You can also pick up icons
|
|
(HyperTerminal session files) for other BBSs and online systems
|
|
that you can call. Call again any time, to download subsequent
|
|
versions of HyperTerminal PE, or to post comments or bug reports.
|
|
We read all messages but seldom answer back, so please expect no
|
|
response. User input is important to us and we appreciate your
|
|
taking the time to send it.

How HyperTerminal PE is Different
|
|
---------------------------------
|
|
|
|
On the surface, HyperTerminal PE seems almost identical to
|
|
HyperTerminal (except for its animated banner screen). Both are
|
|
speedy 32-bit programs that take full advantage of the Windows 95
|
|
interface and key features, such as TAPI (Telephony API) and
|
|
Unimodem universal modem support. And both support Hilgraeve's
|
|
CommSense feature (pat. pending), which automatically identifies
|
|
and sets parameters such as parity, stop bits and data bits, so
|
|
you can call new online systems simply by entering their phone
|
|
numbers.
|
|
|
|
Yet HyperTerminal PE offers several substantial advantages
|
|
over the HyperTerminal program Microsoft currently includes with
|
|
Windows 95. It adds the three features most often requested by
|
|
HyperTerminal users: Automatic re-dial of busy phone numbers;
|
|
Zmodem crash recovery for resuming interrupted file transfers;
|
|
and support for foreign characters.
|
|
|
|
HyperTerminal PE also corrects some problems identified after
|
|
the Windows 95 code freeze. It transfers files properly through
|
|
direct cable connections, and enumerates country codes correctly
|
|
even if more than one TAPI service provider is installed. Its
|
|
character delay setting now throttles text sending even when
|
|
pasting from the clipboard. It also fixes problems that occurred
|
|
with certain printers, and subtle errors in Minitel terminal
|
|
emulation.
|
|
|
|
HyperTerminal PE version 1.1 makes it easier for the user to
|
|
type commands directly to the modem. This is useful to experienced users
|
|
who wish to test the modem, or even place the modem in answer mode.
|
|
It does this by allowing the user to type characters to the terminal
|
|
area without first defining a name and icon for the new connection.
|
|
This will open the first device listed by Windows 95 and will transmit
|
|
the characters to that device.If you would like to choose a different
|
|
device -- another modem or port -- simply open the properties for that
|
|
connection and change to another device. HyperTerminal no longer
|
|
requires you to enter a phone number before this dialog is dismissed.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
Installing and Using HyperTerminal PE
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
HyperTerminal Private Edition, Version 1.1 is provided as a
|
|
file called HTPE1.ZIP, which contains (in compressed format) all
|
|
of the files you need for HyperTerminal PE. Follow these
|
|
instructions to install HyperTerminal PE as a replacement for
|
|
HyperTerminal:
|
|
|
|
1. Use PKUNZIP to unpack HTPE1.ZIP into a temporary directory.
|
|
|
|
2. Open an MS-DOS window and change to the directory containing
|
|
your existing HyperTerminal program, by entering:
|
|
|
|
CD C:\Program~1\Access~1\Hypert~1
|
|
|
|
3. Enter ATTRIB -H *.DLL to make the .DLL files in this directory
|
|
visible.
|
|
|
|
4. (Leaving the MS-DOS window open) momentarily disable Windows
|
|
95's registry. To do this, select Shut Down... to display the
|
|
Shut Down dialog. In this dialog, hold down Shift+Ctrl+Alt while
|
|
you click the No button. This will make the Task Bar and other
|
|
visible features of Explorer go away. Don't be alarmed; step 6
|
|
will restore them.
|
|
|
|
5. Copy the HyperTerminal PE files from the temporary directory
|
|
into the HyperTerminal directory. (You may wish to make backup
|
|
copies of your former files first.)
|
|
|
|
6. To restore the Windows 95 desktop to normal, enter EXPLORER in
|
|
the MS-DOS window.
|
|
|
|
That's it! HyperTerminal PE is now ready to use. You start
|
|
and use it the same as the HyperTerminal program provided with
|
|
Windows 95; see Windows 95 for documentation or Help for
|
|
instructions.
|
|
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
Use of Special Characters
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
If you find that special character aren't being sent or
|
|
displayed correctly by HyperTerminal, try changing to a different
|
|
font. Due to the way Windows 95 maps characters under different
|
|
fonts, you will see a different character displayed if you are
|
|
using the Terminal font as opposed to the other available fonts.
|
