1.1.1 Features of AccuTerm 7

Multiple sessions using MDI (Multiple Document Interface). This means that you can run two or more terminal sessions at the same time without running two copies of AccuTerm. It works the same as other programs that allow you to work with more than one document at a time like word processors, spreadsheets, etc. so it's easy to work with. You don't have to learn a new way of working. Also, by using MDI instead of running multiple copies of AccuTerm, you use less system resources and memory.

You can still run multiple copies if you choose, we just think MDI works better.

User interface has modernized interface, including context menus accessed by clicking with the right mouse button. The new toolbar can be hidden completely and also features balloon help that shows you what the buttons mean. Toolbar, menu, session tabs and status bar can be customized by the user.

Full OLE Automation / ActiveX support allows integration with other Windows applications. AccuTerm

7 acts as both automation client and automation server. AccuTerm exposes its application and session objects, which allows other applications complete control of AccuTerm.

ActiveX component (OCX) terminal emulation & communications engine may be used in custom applications where accurate terminal emulation is required.

Secure Shell connections ensure privacy using public key encryption technology. SSH1 and SSH2 protocols are supported, and several ciphers are available.

SSL/Telnet connections ensure privacy using industry-standard SSL encryption for hosts that do not support Secure Shell.

FIPS-140 mode uses only FIPS compatible encryption algorithms in conjunction with FIPS certified

Microsoft Crypto API DLLs.

Accurate emulations. When you use AccuTerm everything will work just like the terminal being emulated. No strange problems with word processors or spreadsheets. No messed up screens. No hassles.

Modem connections use Windows built-in dialer, and unlimited phone directory entries.

Fast file transfer capabilities using industry standard protocols like Xmodem, Ymodem, Zmodem, and

Kermit. MultiValue File Transfer Wizard and utilities import and export MultiValue data in a variety of formats. And direct Host-to-Host file transfer, too!

Scripting language and macro recorder allows users to record macros or write scripts using Visual

Basic for Applications (VBA).

Enhanced scroll back window saves up to 10,000 lines for instant recall.

Extended screen support of up to 240 columns by 240 rows.

Automatic font scaling so that you can always see the full screen. This is a great feature that once you get used to it, you'll never want to go without.

Enhanced network support for Telnet and Secure Shell (SSH1 & SSH2) over TCP/IP. Supports IPV6 and Internationalized Domain Names.

GUI Development Environment helps you build user-friendly GUI front-ends for your MultiValue applications.

Image and sound support lets you to display images anywhere on the terminal screen. You can also play Wave, MP3 and MIDI sound files.

wED Windows based program / data editor includes BASIC syntax highlighting in an MDI environment.

Includes host file & item browser with an Explorer-like interface.

Tektronix graphics terminal emulation in both color and monochrome.

Visual Styles and full color mapping lets you choose any foreground and background color combination for any terminal visual attribute, and attach a border effect to the attribute. Application of

Visual Styles can give character-based applications an instant face-lift.

Unicode / UTF-8 supported in all emulations, the GUI Development Environment, the wED Editor and

Kermit and Zmodem file transfers.

Easy to use. We've followed the Windows Interface Application Design Guide more closely than many other terminal emulation programs. This makes AccuTerm easier to learn and use.

Program files are installed in the C:\Program Files\Atwin71 folder, and the registry is updated to establish file associations as well as component file registration. Administrator privileges are required for this type of installation. Note: when installing on a server running Terminal Services

AccuTerm 7.

Personal: installs AccuTerm 7 for the current user only. Program files are installed in the Atwin71 program folder and the current user's registry is updated to establish file associations as well as component file registration. If the Atwin71 folder is not in a protected directory (such as Program Files), Administrator privileges are not required for a personal installation.
