Click the following links to see the new features in each KoalaTerm version.
What's New in Version 4.1
What's New in Version 3.4
What's New in Version 3.2
What's New in Version 3.1
What's New in Version 3.0
What's New in KoalaTerm 4.1
The best VT terminal emulator gets even better! At Foxit Software, we keep our promise to bring the best to
our valued customers. Upgrading is always free!
● New support to soft character set: Soft character set is a feature of VT320/VT420 terminals and not
found on any affordable emulation programs. KoalaTerm now supports DECDLD command which
allows host application to send any customized font to KoalaTerm. With this new feature, your
application can display real graphic, special characters, or just alternative fonts on KoalaTerm screen!
If you have such applications like word processing, system monitoring, and other graphic
applications, KoalaTerm 4.1 is the perfect replacement for your VT terminals!
● Refreshed Larger Buttons: With labels on each of those larger buttons on the toolbar, you don't need
to guess what those buttons will do anymore!
●
New record-and-playback "MACRO" button: It's an exciting new feature added to KoalaTerm 4.1.
Although previous KoalaTerm version has the most capable script in the toolbar facilities among all
terminal emulators, it often takes some time for a terminal user to learn how to write those scripts.
Now with this all new macro recording feature, you don't need to write a single line of script to make
your terminal session much more efficient and convenient! Just press the MACRO button, do what
you would normally do to finish some tasks, press the MACRO button again, then all your typing,
be it normal characters, or function keys, will be automatically recorded as a KoalaTerm script, and
you can assign the script to a customized button or a mapped key. Later on, if you want to repeat
what you have done, just press the assigned button or mapped key!
what's new in KoalaTerm
●
Revived "RECONN" button: This button exists in previous KoalaTerm versions, but it never worked.
Now the reconnecting feature has been added to KoalaTerm 4.1. If you choose not to close the
window after disconnected from the host, you will see this button get enabled after you closed a
session, and you can reconnect to the host by just press the button, just one click! And your login
script, if set up, will also be re-executed!
What's New in Version 3.4
●
Display Attribute: This new-setup setting in Color mapping page enable color-mapped character to
display on emulation window with their own attributes.
New Line-Status Display Mode: Sometimes you may need your session window to display status line
●
while communicating with the host. Now Display Status Line in Display page of KoalaTerm Settings
will give you help.
● Enable Blink Text: When your host sends character or text with blink attribute and you also hope to
remain this feature in your session screen, then you can realize by checking Enable Blink Text in
Display Page.
●
Answer Back Message: Sometimes the host applications could not identify the emulation windows
while negotiating with multi port terminal emulator. Thus the host might send an inquiry asking for
terminal ID. In this case using Answer Back dialog box in Display Settings can help you communicate
with your host more friendly.
New Toolbar for finding text: Now the new added toolbar----"find & repeat the last find "in
●
KoalaTerm window can save user time in finding text and improve the efficiency.
What's New in Version 3.2
● DBCS support: Good news for DBCS system users like Chinese and Japanese. Now you can enable
"DBCS" support in "International" page of settings dialog, also make sure your Primary Character Set
is set to "ISO Latin-1". Then you will be able to view double byte characters.
●
New printing feature: Now transparent printing supports output directly to printer ports. You can use
this new feature by setting the "Print To" option in "Print" page of KoalaTerm Settings dialog.
Save everything: Sometimes the host application erase terminal screen before new output, and
●
KoalaTerm used to discard those erased text and not put into history (scroll-back) buffer. Now, with
"Save Everything" option enabled in "Terminal" page of KoalaTerm Settings dialog, you can view
everything in the history buffer after they got erased.
●
File transfer: Finally KoalaTerm has ZModem support. Like all other KoalaTerm good features, it's
what's new in KoalaTerm
very easy to use. Just run your favorite ZModem program on your host, and start transferring! When
you use Secure KoalaTerm, the file transfer will be secured! Moving your sensitive stuff around has
never been so easy! Click here to see how!

KoalaTerm International Support
Content
KoalaTerm International Support
KoalaTerm works with localized Windows 95 and Windows NT system to support international
character sets.
Because the host system you are connecting to may not use the same character set as Windows
●
system, KoalaTerm provides code translating between the host character set and PC character set.
When you input a character on PC keyboard, KoalaTerm picks up its code in PC character set, then
translates it to the code in host character set, and sends the translated code to the host. When
KoalaTerm receives a character from the host system, it translates the code in host character set to
code in PC character set, and displays the PC code on Windows screen.
● While KoalaTerm automatically detects the character set used by Windows system, you have to tell
KoalaTerm the character sets used by your host system and applications on the host system. You do
so by using Settings dialog.
●
There are settings for three character sets in "International" page of "KoalaTerm Settings" dialog tab.
You may need to do some experiment to figure them out. You may have to try different choices for
"Primary Set" or "Secondary Set". Most hosts only use "Primary Set" so you don't have to choose the
"Secondary Set". And the "NRC" set should normally be disabled, unless you are using some kind of
application following the DEC NRC specification.
Click here for a list of currently supported character sets by KoalaTerm.
●
Windows 95: Unlike Windows NT, it's not possible to display characters outside the native character
set (determined when you install Windows 95).
If you need a specific character set which is not supported by KoalaTerm now and have complete code
table or reference information for it, we would like to add additional character set support if possible. Please
write to support@foxitsoftware.com for details.

Receiving File Using ZModem
All you need to do is starting the ZModem program (like sz, c-kermit, etc.) and issue sending command by host command line. KoalaTerm can detect file
transfer request from the host and automatically start receiving. You will see a small dialog box popping up with receiving status update.
By default all received files will be saved into "Received" subdirectory under your KoalaTerm directory (the directory where mkt.exe resides) as shown in
Fig.1. You can change the directory settings within "FILE TRANSFER" page in "SETTINGS" dialog as shown in Fig.2. The file name will be the same as on
host system.
Fig.1 Fig.2
File Transfer Help page
You can also disable the "Automatically Receive" option in the settings page as Fig.2. When disabled, you will have to use "Receive ZModem" menu item
from "Transfer" menu to start receiving as Fig.3.
Fig.3
Example: At host command line, you type:
sz myfile
KoalaTerm will automatically receive the content of "myfile" and save "myfile" into "Received" subdirectory.
Note:
KoalaTerm ZModem transfer requires 8-bit communication. If you are using modem or serial port, make sure you are using 8-bit data length.
Sending File Using ZModem
If your host have "rz" program installed, all you need to do is at the host command line, selecting "Send ZModem" from "Transfer" menu (see Fig.4), then
choosing your file. KoalaTerm will start your rz program and send the file content.
Fig.4
In case that your ZModem receiving program doesn't happen to be rz, you can change the "Initial String" in "File Transfer" page of "KoalaTerm Settings"
dialog as shown in Fig.1. You can tell KoalaTerm how your host ZModem receiving program can be started. Or, if you prefer, you can manually start your
program, then select "Send ZModem" menu item, and go ahead.

KoalaTerm Printing
KoalaTerm provides all the VT printing functions: Printing Screen and Auto Printing Mode. In addition,
you can copy the selected text and graphics or the entire screen to the clipboard. Then, you can paste the
clipboard contents to any application that can print the copied area. The types of printing supported are:
Print Page
To print the current session page.
Print Selection
To print the highlighted text on the screen. This command is unavailable until the text is selected.
Print All
To print the current page plus all data on the history buffers.
Print Mode
Printing mode captures data coming over the data communications line and automatically directs it to a
printer or a file. This print command has no effect or correlation to where input goes to when you choose
it from the session menu; the only factor that determines where printing mode is directed is based on the
"
Print" page of "KoalaTerm Settings".
Print Setup
To click this command, you are about to open a "Print Setup" dialog box (see the following figure). In
this box, you can select either a local or remote printer, select the paper printing Orientation and set the
Properties. In addition, you can print through the terminal data by different font sizes. To change the
font size of the current printing, go to "DISPLAY" page in "SETTINGS" dialog.

MKT -H <host name>
MKT -P < port name>
MKT -F <file name>
where:
● <session name> is file name, port name, or host name. First of all, MKT.EXE will try to open a file
such as <
