Version 4.0d   November 10, 2006

ENHANCEMENTS:

1. The option of running Javelin in the browser by adding the parameter ‘browserframe’. The parameters ‘width’ and ‘height’ control the size of Javelin in the browser. Depending on your web page is if you need the parameters at all. The drawback to running Javelin in the browser is that you lose the Menu bar.

<applet codebase=”./” archive=”j92.jar” code=”J92.class” width=80% height=80%>
<param name=”cabbase” value=”j92.cab”>
<param name=”Config” value=”default.j92″>
<param name=browserframe value=true>
</applet>

2. Added a Configuration option to map a key to any of the pull down menu items.

Examples:
MAP ALT P TO MENUCOMMAND “Print Current Page”
MAP ALT S TO MENUCOMMAND “Print Selection”
MAP ALT E TO MENUCOMMAND “Print to End of Page”
MAP ALT D TO MENUCOMMAND “Print All Display Memory”
MAP ALT C TO MENUCOMMAND “Print Memory from Cursor”

Version 3.2   April 26, 2006

ENHANCEMENT:

• The j92.jar file is now contains the code for running Javelin standalone or the secure version through the JES server. You can either copy j92.jar to j92sec.jar and/or j92run.jar to maintain the old method of accessing the files or just change your script or web page to access j92.jar.

FIXES:

Minor fixes and recompiled to fix problems caused by Sun VM 1.5.0_6

Version 3.1b   December 6, 2004

ENHANCEMENT:

Added the runtime parameters login1, login2, login3. These parameters can be added to your html code and will be executed in order once a connection is made. The following example logs onto an HP3000 and runs a program.

<h1>Javelin-HP Emulator by MiniSoft</h1>
<applet codebase=”./” archive=”j92.jar” code=”J92.class” id=”J92″>
<param name=”cabbase” value=”j92.cab”>
<param name=”Config” value=”testpass.j92″>
<param name=”login1″ value=”hello mark,mgr.minisoft,mark”>
<param name=”login2″ value=”xxxxxx”>
<param name=”login3″ value=”run msapp”
</applet>
<h1>Do not close this window while Javelin is running.</h1>

NOTE: If using these runtime parameters all LOGIN properties added to your configuration file must be removed.

Version 3.1   September 21, 2004

FIXES:

• Using the Sun Security model now. There should not be anymore errors about the outdated Netscape security model.

NEW CONFIGURATION COMMANDS:

Set the Function Key foreground and background colors:

FGCOLOR FKEYS [color]
BGCOLOR FKEYS [color]

 Version 3.0a   July 20, 2004,

NEW CONFIGURATION COMMANDS:

EXITALLOWED <ON/OFF>
Default is ON. When set to OFF this command prevents the user from clicking X to close Javelin. This forces them to exit whatever application they are in and log off normally. If the underlying browser or command window is closed Javelin will still close.

SCROLLBYBUFFER
This command replaces BUFFERTEXT ON. If you have BUFFERTEXT ON in your configuration file delete it and replace it with SCROLLBYBUFFER. This command fixes various display problems with complex block mode and character mode screens.

The following commands apply to SUN VM version 1.4.1 or greater only. The new print routine will probably eliminate the need to use configuration options PRINTMARGIN and PRINTTOPMARGIN.

PRINTERDEFAULT
The default printer for the PC will be used and the user will not be prompted for a printer.

PRINTERASKFIRST
The printer dialog box is displayed the first time a user tries to print..

PRINTERASKALWAYS
The printer dialog box is displayed everytime a user tries to print.

 Version 2.8e   April 21, 2004

FIXES:

• Fixed a problem when the result code was not being returned when doing a host initiated file transfer.

 Version 2.8f   April 28, 2004

NEW CONFIGURATION COMMAND:

PRINTTOPMARGIN <number of rows>
This is primarily for SUN VM users. Adds the specified number of blank lines to the top of every page.

 Version 2.8e   April 21, 2004

FIXES:

• Fixed a problem when the result code was not being returned when doing a host initiated file transfer.

 Version 2.8c   April 6, 2002

ENHANCEMENT:

FIXES:

• Fixed a problem where the result code was being returned during a host initiated file transfer and it should not have been.

 Version 2.8   November 25, 2003

ENHANCEMENTS:

The color configuration options have been expanded to make more sense to non-hp programmers. The old version (FGCOLOR @ etc) will still work. The new settings are as follows:

FGCOLOR [attributes] [color]
BGCOLOR [attributes] [color]

where color has the options it had previously and attributes are as follows:

VT ATTRIBUTES
=============
“NORMAL”
“BLINK”
“INVERSE”
“BLINK_INVERSE”
“UNDERLINE”
“BLINK_UNDERLINE
“INVERSE_UNDERLINE”
“BLINK_INVERSE_UNDERLINE”

“BOLD_INVERSE_UNDERLINE”
“BOLD_BLINK_INVERSE_UNDERLINE”

Example: FGCOLOR “BOLD” red
BGCOLOR “BOLD” white

Shows text as red on white when the bold attribute has been set and no other attributes are in effect.
HP EMULATION
============
“NORMAL”
“BLINK”
“INVERSE”
“BLINK_INVERSE”
“UNDERLINE”
“BLINK_UNDERLINE
“INVERSE_UNDERLINE”
“BLINK_INVERSE_UNDERLINE”

“HALFBRITE”
“HALFBRITE_BLINK”
“HALFBRITE_INVERSE”
“HALFBRITE_BLINK_INVERSE”
“HALFBRITE_UNDERLINE”
“HALFBRITE_BLINK_UNDERLINE”
“HALFBRITE_INVERSE_UNDERLINE”
“HALFBRITE_BLINK_INVERSE_UNDERLINE”

FIXES:

• Fixed a problem when using multiple LOGIN commands.
• Fixed screen display problems when connecting via Telnet.

 Version 2.6l   October 29, 2003

NEW CONFIGURATION COMMAND:

PRINTMARGIN <number of columns>
This is primarily for Linux users. When doing screen prints the left margin is padded with the number of spaces specified.

FIXES:

• Fixed a problem with file transfers where Javelin would hang and the transfer box would not close if you canceled the transfer.
• Now works when run from Netscape (version 6) as an applet. This was tested using Sun Java version 1.4.2_01

 Version 2.6k   June 30, 2003

NEW CONFIGURATION COMMAND:

KEEPALIVE <seconds>
A special NS/VT packet will be sent every time <seconds> pass without a transmission to the host. For example KEEPALIVE 60 would sent a packet every time 60 seconds passed without a transmission to the host. This is primarily for users who need to stay connected but are being timed out due to inactivity.

 Version 2.6i   February 4, 2003

ENHANCEMENT:

Support for host initiated file transfers. The supported commands are RECEIVE and S (send). The syntax for each is as follows:

RECEIVE <pcfile> FROM <host file> [ASCII][BINARY]

example: RECEIVE C:\AATEST\XXTEST.TXT FROM XXTEST ASCII

S <pcfile> TO <host file> [ASCII][BINARY] REC=<size> [DELETE]

example: S XXTEST.TXT TO XXTEST.MARK ASCII REC=80 DELETE

 Version 2.6h   January 21, 2003

• Fixed problems with screen refresh when connecting to HP/UX boxes.
• Fixed performance problems when using Sun VM.

 Version 2.6g   January 6, 2003

FIX:

Fixed a problem where the screen item was not receiving focus when using the mouse to click a function key button that took you to a new screen.

 Version 2.6g   December 12, 2002

NEW CONFIGURATION COMMAND:

CAPSLOCK ON
Sets default typing to capital letters. Using the <shift> key will display lower case letters. This is a software enhancement. The Caps Lock light will not go on nor will the Caps Lock button have any effect. This may not work correctly with some translation tables.

FIXES

• Fixed a problem where the screen item was not receiving focus when using the mouse to click a function key button that took you to a new screen.

 Version 2.6f   November 18, 2002

ENHANCEMENTS:

• The numeric keypad keys ADD, SUBTRACT, MULTIPLY, and DIVIDE can be remapped.

FIXES:

• Tab key now works with Sun’s VM version 1.4.1_01. Other display issues when running on Linux boxes have been cleaned up.

 Version 2.6e   November 5, 2002

ENHANCEMENTS:

• If the user presses Enter when the function key message is present, the key is treated as if it was return followed by enter.
• A special packet is sent in NS/VT mode to tell the host to disconnect, in cases where the user closes Javelin without logging off.

 Version 2.6c   October 11, 2002

NEW CONFIGURATION COMMANDS:

ENTERCLRMSG ON

If this line is found in the configuration file, and a message is displayed in place of the function key labels, and the user presses the ENTER key, the message will cleared and the ENTER key otherwise ignored.

 Version 2.6c   October 1, 2002

NEW CONFIGURATION COMMANDS:

CENTERING OFF
The display stays left justified as the font resizes due to changes in the screen size.

FIXES:
Javelin was not responding correctly to programmatic commands to resize from 80 to 132 columns.

CLARIFICATION:
The only values recognized by the IDSTRING property are 2392 and 70092. These values must be in quotes, for example:
IDSTRING “70092”

 Version 2.6b   September 10, 2002

NEW CONFIGURATION COMMANDS:

BUFFERTEXT (ON/OFF)

The default value is OFF. When this is set, in block mode the screen will not be updated until a Read is received from the Host, indicating that the host is ready for input and that presumably it has therefore finished painting the screen. This enhancement speeds up the display of block mode screens.

FIXES:

SCREEN80 and SCREEN132 parameters now cause Javelin to start up with the font specified instead of the default font used by Javelin.

 Version 2.6a   August 19, 2002

Support for File Transfers. This is the MiniSoft file transfer protocol compatible with WS92LINK, using large blocks and no compression. Works with MPE only, not hp/ux hosts. The host file transfer program must be present on the host system – a facility exists within MiniSoft 92 for Windows to upload it.

There are four new configuration file properties:
FTPROG WS92LINK.PUB.SYS
FTASCII ON
UPLOADCHARS <upload translation table>
DOWNLOADCHARS <download translation table>

If FTPROG is not defined the file transfer menu will not appear. If it is defined, and it is an applet version, the user will be asked to confirm the ability to read and write local files (java sandbox protection).

If FTASCII is turned on the default will be ASCII file transfers

Examples:
UPLOADCHARS ansirom8.tbl
DOWNLOADCHARS rom8ansi.tbl

 Version 2.5i  April 10, 2002

Support for Security Display Enhancement added.

 Version 2.5h  March 21, 2002

Support for Triple-DES encryption in the secure version. Use:

ENCRYPT DES (or ENCRYPT ON for backwards compatibility) for 40 bit DES

ENCRYPT TRIPLEDES for triple DES encryption.

ENCRYPT OFF to disable encryption.

NOTE: No change is needed to JES, which already supported both types.

 Version 2.5g  January 4, 2002

Buffered up xfer writes to prevent the next read arriving before we have finished writing.

 Version 2.5f  December 5, 2001

Implemented CAPS and CAPS LOCK sequences

 Version 2.5e  November 12, 2001

Internal changes.

Version 2.5d   October 24, 2001

Version 2.5c  July 2, 2001

• Refresh cursor position after interpretting a key mapped to a string, in case the string was a cursor positioning sequence.
