AnzioWin

AnzioWin is returning a winsock error code or 10022 when I try to run it. What does this refer to?

Winsock error code 10022, it is kind of a catch-all for unknown problems. If this is a new machine or you have recently installed or updated any internet security software, the problem is most likely related to the personal firewall they turn on. Windows Firewall is not usually the problem because by default it does not block outbound traffic, just inbound traffic, whereas others block both. While you may be able to "ping" the host, do normal web access and even use Windows "telnet", the security suite's firewall software may be preventing access for any other program.

I cannot get AnzioWin to give correct file names (dir/s, ...) to my host script

The problem is not usually AnzioWin in this case. The problem is the handling of backslashes by the shell you are running under for your operating system. Since backslashes have special meaning in most all shell strings, they have to be either escaped or handled special on input and output. Try something like the following (this may vary depending on your shell and scripting environment):

/usr/bin/printf "\034%s\035" "dir/s c: "
read -r file
printf "%s\n" "$file"
file="${file//\\/\\\\}"
/usr/bin/printf "%s\n" "$file"

Why does my Anzio Lite keep asking to save parameters when I exit?

Ordinarily, Anzio will ask this question whenever any settings have been changed.

If you have moved, resized, zoomed, or unzoomed the Anzio window, this will also constitute a change, if View:Track Window Position is checked. You can uncheck this item (and save your settings one more time), and then moving the window will not trigger this message.

You can also change how Anzio behaves in Edit:Advanced Options:Security, under "Prompt to save parameters".

Can I change Anzio's screen fonts, screen size, and colors?

Yes, under the View menu in AnzioWin and Anzio Lite, you can set the particular screen size and font according to your own preferences. Also note that you can zoom (maximize) the window, in which case Anzio uses the full screen and auto-adjusts the font size to fit to the screen resolution. If the window is NOT zoomed, you can set the font size, and the window size will follow. You can also walk through screen font changes quickly by doing an Alt-L (for "larger", to step up one size), Alt-S ("smaller", step down one size) and Alt-Z (to zoom to full screen).

How does passthrough printing work?

Passthrough printing allows a host computer to send a print job through the user's terminal (emulator) and out to an attached printer. It is sometimes called "local print", "attached print" or "slave print". This means the user must be logged in to the host. The host then sends a sequence of characters that causes the telnet or terminal emulation software to redirect its output to a local printer until a similar sequence is received to turn off the passthrough printing.

How can I set up Anzio to run from a terminal server / file server?

AnzioWin and Anzio Lite work well with terminal servers and in running them from file servers. However, do remember that AnzioWin and Anzio Lite licenses are on a per PC user. On a file server or terminal server this refers to the number of nodes that will have access to the server.

In order to set AnzioWin or Anzio Lite up to run from the server, install the product on the server and permit access to the users. That's it! Well almost. Two things that may be a headache:

I am generating PDFs with AnzioWin. How can I now email these?

Beginning with version 16.0c of AnzioWin, you can now setup a reference to an email server and method and email generated PDF files or TIF files as they are completed. AnzioWin supports CDO, MAPI, OUTLOOK and the SMTP email protocols. Each have an advantage, but each also depends on a) what type of email client on the PC you are working with and b) whether your email server allows relaying. Check out our document on AnzioWin PDFs, TIFs and Emailing Print Jobs for more information.
