New in CRT 6.0 |
 |
| Move tabs in and out of windows |
Send an active tab to a new CRT window, clone a tabbed session
in a new window, or drag and drop between CRT windows. This makes
it easy to send a tabbed session to a new window, view the output
of two sessions at the same time, and then drag the session back
in.
|
| Button bar |
Map buttons to configuration commands or actions, such as sending
strings, running scripts, menu functions, and protocol commands.
You can also create different button bars for specific sessions
or operations. |
| Launch external programs |
Launch external programs (like your favorite editor, cmd.exe,
or regedit) on the local machine through mapped keys and buttons
on the button bar, reducing the number of context switches you need
to make. |
| Autoreconnect prompt and countdown in session window |
The autoreconnect prompt and countdown are now displayed in the
session window instead of in a dialog, allowing connected sessions
to be used while a disconnected session is trying to reconnect. |
| Use environment variables in paths |
You can now use environment variables like APPDATA, TEMP, and
USERPROFILE in paths specified in CRT global and session options,
making it easier to move/copy settings to other machines and to
create configurations that will work for multiple users. |
| Support for alpha transparency |
Specify the transparency level for the active and inactive windows
so that you can view what's behind a CRT window or easily compare
the contents of two CRT windows. |
| New toolbar and menu bar themes |
The toolbar and menu bar now use Windows display themes. |
| Customize the toolbar and menu |
New dialog supports dragging and dropping toolbar and menu items,
so that it's easy to modify the toolbar and menu to suit your needs. |
| MSI installers |
MSI support allows you to distribute the applications through
your distributions server using Group Policy and to automate installs
through SMS or other install programs. |
| Session locking |
Lock sessions with a password while connected. While a session
is locked, it cannot be typed in or closed. |
| Check for product updates |
An optional monthly pop-up dialog checks for product updates. |
| Wide range of terminal emulation |
VT100, VT102, VT220, ANSI, SCO ANSI, Wyse 50/60, Xterm, and Linux
console, with support for ANSI color with color schemes in all
emulations.
|
| Xterm extensions |
Supports the Xterm extensions for changing the title bar and for
sending basic mouse events to the remote host. CRT also delivers
256-color Xterm support.
|
| Character attributes |
Full terminal emulation support for character attributes including
VT line drawing symbols, bold, underline, reverse and blink, and
double-width and double-height fonts.
|
| Multi-byte font support |
Support for Japanese, Chinese, and Korean multi-byte character
sets.
|
| 80/132-column support |
Supports automatic switching between 80 and 132-column display.
Different fonts can be configured for the 80 and 132-column modes.
|
| National Replacement Character Set |
Terminal sessions display international characters using NRCS if
supported by the host application.
|
| Configurable rows and columns |
CRT supports a wide range of configuration from the standard 24
rows, 80 columns to as many as 1024 columns.
|
| Window size change |
When using RLogin or Telnet servers supporting the NAWS extension,
CRT will inform the remote system anytime the window is resized
and the rows and columns change. For applications like vi and Emacs,
this guarantees that CRT is always in sync with the remote system
without manually tweaking the settings on the remote system.
|
| Create keyboard mappings |
Map keyboard combinations on a per session basis. Create mappings
for any key combination - not just function keys - without an external
keymap file.
|
| Flexible keyboard mappings |
Create customized accelerators by mapping user-specified keyboard
combinations to send a user-specified string, run a script, perform
a menu or scrollbar operation, send a Telnet command, or launch
external programs (like your favorite editor, cmd.exe, or regedit)
on the local machine.
|
| Keymap editor |
Graphical editor provides an easy mechanism for creating keymap
files that can be shared between users and systems.
|
| Named sessions |
Create sessions from the Connect dialog to define specific preferences
for different hosts or for different purposes on the same host.

Seven predefined terminal color schemes provided. Create and
save additional color schemes with customized foreground and background
colors.

| Session log file option |
Session logging to a file can be toggled on and off from the
menu. CRT can be configured to start logging upon connecting to
the remote site. Dynamic log filename generation, with support
for substitution of date, time, and environment variables. Custom
log data gives you the ability to specify strings to be logged
upon connect, disconnect, and on each line. Parameter substitutions
for session and date information are supported.
|
| 128,000-line scrollback |
The scrollback buffer can be configured to save up to 128,000
lines. Being able to review the history of the current session
can be a life saver. From the scrollback, both copying to the
clipboard and printing are supported.
|
| Emacs mode |
If you commonly use Emacs, you can configure your session to
use the ALT key as the meta key.
|
| Chat window |
Provides a mechanism for composing a line (or more) of text before
sending to the remote system. The chat window also supports history,
which allows previous commands to be viewed, edited, and sent.
|
| Use environment variables in paths |
Use environment variables like APPDATA, TEMP, and
USERPROFILE in paths specified in CRT global and session options,
making it easier to move/copy settings to other machines and to
create configurations that will work for multiple users. |
| Tabbed sessions |
Tabbed sessions reduce desktop clutter and make it easy to switch
between sessions. Launch new tabs in the current window from a
URL or command line. With the ability to move tabs in and out
of CRT windows, you can send an active tab to a new window, clone
a tabbed session in a new window, or drag and drop sessions between
windows. This makes it easy to send a tabbed session to a new
window, view the output of two sessions at the same time, and
then drag the session back in.
|
| Button bar |
Map buttons to configuration commands or actions,
such as sending strings, running scripts, menu functions, and protocol
commands, or launching external programs like your favorite editor,
cmd.exe, or regedit. You can also create different button bars for
specific sessions or operations. |
| Activator tray utility |
The Activator utility allows minimizing any session
window to the system tray, cutting down on desktop and taskbar clutter. |
| Session management |
Sessions can be organized in nested folders. Organize hundreds
of named sessions using standard copy and paste or drag and drop.
Folders or multiple sessions can be launched in tabs with a single
click. With "Use auto session" enabled, select a single
session, multiple sessions, or folders of sessions to automatically
connect on startup.
|
| Simple automated logons |
The initial logon username and password can be configured from
the Script dialog in order to automate logons quickly without
the need to learn a scripting language.

The Quick Connect dialog allows you to connect to a host with
just a server name - no configuration required. Optionally, you
can save the connection for future use.
|

option on, text is automatically copied to clipboard after the
text is selected. Quickly paste text into a session by using the
option to paste on right or middle mouse click

New dialog supports dragging and dropping toolbar
and menu items so that it's easy to modify the toolbar and menu
to suit your needs. |

| TIS and Wingate proxy |
Generic proxies from the TIS firewall toolkit and Wingate are supported for use with Telnet. |
| HTTP proxy |
Telnet connections can be configured to connect via an HTTP proxy
that supports the Connect command. Proxy setup is simplified with
support for unauthenticated and basic HTTP proxies.
|
| Zmodem, Xmodem, and Ymodem |
Use Zmodem, Xmodem, and Ymodem to upload and download
files over any protocol (Serial, TAPI, Telnet, RLogin). |
| Send, receive ASCII |
