Description

Pocket Tera Term is a free software terminal emulator (communication
program) for Windows CE. It supports VT100 emulation, TCP/IP (telnet)
connections, modem connections, serial port communications and so on.
The essential part of the functions that Tera Term (Pro) for MS Windows
3.1/95/NT has is implemented in Pocket Tera Term.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Design guideline

Pocket Tera Term is developed for:

Users who have much experience of PC (H/PC) communication applications, or,

Users who can study anything which is necessary for using the
software, by themselves, without asking the author questions.

Typical uses of Pocket Tera Term:

- Using as a mobile terminal. Connecting to a remote host
through telephone (or cellular phone) line,
and reading/writing e-mail messages or performing simple file
operations by using character-base utilities at the host.
One communication session is several minutes long at most.

- Controlling some electronic devices at laboratories or factories
by using character-base communication over a serial port.
Such operations should not cause fatal accidents.

If you are looking for easy methods to read e-mail messages or
to have access to a BBS, it may be better to find other applications.

If other applications also have the same problem, it may not
be a bug of Pocket Tera Term. When you report the problem to

character string such as username and password.

- Scripts.

The following items will NOT be supported because they are
out of the design guideline (see "3. Design guideline"), or
because much effort is required for supporting them
while they are not so important.

- File transfer protocols such as Kermit, B Plus and X/Y/Zmodem.

- Non-VTXXX terminal emulation such as TEK4010, Televideo and Wyse.

- Online help in the Windows CE help format.
