ZTERM for Pocket PC Issues

These are known bugs or limitations with ZTERM for Pocket PC version 2.1.033:

• In the profile display, doing a tap and hold and then selecting Profile Properties results in the correct display but the stylus doesn't respond. There are two workarounds: go to the Today screen (or any other program) and then back to ZTERM or launch the profile and use the Settings/Configuration menu.
• When operating in full screen mode, occasionally the Pocket PC title bar will show through. Switching out and then back into full screen mode usually cures this.
• FTP transfers aren't currently supported - this is being worked on for the 2.2 release.
• Whenever a color dialog is displayed, the custom colors area is shown - this shouldn't be shown since Pocket PC has no easy way to customize the colors
• To switch profiles you have to exit ZTERM and then restart it - we need a way to exit back to the profile sheet.

These are known hardware related problems:

• On the Compaq iPAQ 3975 you cannot make a circuit switched GSM data call using Bluetooth between the phone and Pocket PC. To make the call using ZTERM's TAPI-based dialer you must connect with either a serial cable or IRDA connection. An alternative workaround is to connect directly to the GSM phone's modem and send the ATDT command as part of the profile's startup commands.
