Problems with PATHWORKS PowerTerm?

» close window

The Question is:

 
I am trying to load Powerterm 525 software on to Dell G1 & GX1 PC's and keep
getting the message - "Error loading Pathworks Terminal Access Library". The
VT320.exe emulator works okay from the Pathworks 32 disk, but not Powerterm.
Can you help as it's dri
ving me crazy??
 

The Answer is :

 
    It sounds like you are using PowerTerm from PATHWORKS 32 V7.0 or
    V7.0a.
 
    The PowerTerm Release Notes (ptreadme.txt) include the following
    information:
 
      INSTALLATION REQUIREMENTS
      =========================
 
      PowerTerm will install without first checking whether the PATHWORKS
      32 components have been installed.  This occurs because PowerTerm
      can use only the COM port, which does not require any PATHWORKS 32
      networking components.
 
      If CTERM, LAT, and Telnet are to be used, you must also install
      certain PATHWORKS 32 components, before or after installing
      PowerTerm.
 
      For example, to install Telnet, DECnet and LAT support, choose the
      "Custom" option in "Network Connectivity" from the PATHWORKS 32
      installation menu, and select DECnet and LAT support.
 
      PATHWORKS 32 can also install the base connectivity to allow a user
      to run PowerTerm over Telnet only, without installing any other
      PATHWORKS 32 options.
 
      To install the base functionality, choose the "Custom" option in
      "Network Connectivity" from the PATHWORKS 32 installation menu, and
      deselect all optional choices.  This procedure will install the
      base functionality that will allow PowerTerm to run without
      installing  DECnet, LAT, VT320, Remote Access, Licensing or PWprint.
 
 
    PATHWORKS 32 V7.1a resolves this issue with PowerTerm.
