Update your HyperTerminal !!

[Darrel Taylor]

The version of HyperTerminal that comes with windows, is a fairly old version, and has quite a few bugs.
It does not get updated with the normal windows update, even though it came with windows.

There is a FREE update to HyperTerminal from the original authors ...

It solves a lot of problems, and adds a few really nice features.

HTH,

Hi,

Thank you Darrel for the update and also for your "ansi.inc". I have been using it with some "ASCII ART" and windows default hterm behaves not the way it should. Hope this solves the problem.

Tis the season.

Darrel Taylor, After doing to the website in your posting I did not see any FREE upgrade available. Only some 15 day trial offer and a $40 some odd dollar package one can buy.... Am I not seeing something?

Hi Dave,

Like you I couldn't find any free download. Only a chargable replacement.

But after a bit of searching I found this page. It may be the trial version but is the only download I can find. http://www.hilgraeve.com/htpe/download.html

Haven't loaded it yet but looks like the one Darrel was talking about?

Bob.

PS. I think the original Windows licence is ok for this install?

[Darrel Taylor]

Wow, they really hid it didn't they.

It was right there in plain sight when I made the first post in this thread.

You found the right one Bob. I downloaded and installed it to make sure. Thanks.
I also changed the link in the first post to minimize confusion.

Thanks BobP and Dave.
