IVT major features

IVT has the following major features:                                                           (Back to IVT main page)
  • Multi-session, single-window. This means that your taskbar and desktop will not be cluttered-up by many windows when you have many simultaneous sessions. There are many ways within IVT to switch quickly between sessions.
    There is a statusbar that keeps you informed about the activities of background sessions.
  • Multi-protocol. Supports Telnet, RLOGIN, NETBIOS and SERIAL protocols, all simultaneously.
  • Supports Kerberos V5 authentication and encryption and SSH.
  • UTF-8 and IME keyboard support.
  • Tab bar that allows even more easier switching between sessions.
  • Excellent support. If you have questions, require new features or find a bug, mail SoftwareVoordelig and usually the problem will be fixed within days, if not hours.
  • Menu bars for easy access to all major functions.
  • Almost everyone I know who uses an emulator on a PC prefers IVT over other (commercial or freeware) alternatives.
  • Very accurate VT220 emulation, tested against the vttest program and real DEC hosts.
  • Variable sized windows, supports Telnet/SSH WindowSize messages.
  • Very flexible mouse support for X-terminal like cutting and pasting.
  • Simple yet powerful scripting language to automate just about every routine interaction with any host (such as logging in). Supports encrypting files for safe storage of passwords used during login.
    IVT is very suitable for batch processes on Windows machines that need to interact with some host. There are many features in the scripting language to deal with errors, timeouts, unexpected situations and so on.
  • Comes with a password-learning and auto-login system written in the IVT script language.
    This automatically learns your login procedure (user-id, password) and will automatically log you in the next time you connect to that host (if you want it to).
    Learning is configurable on a per-host and per-session basis. All learned passwords are stored in an encrypted file. Optionally, the passwords are kept in memory only and lost when IVT exits (for people who dislike stored passwords).
  • Printer support (print screen, print session, print-through). Prints to files and to real printers, optionally in landscape, in full color.
  • Scroll-back memory (history). Text that has scrolled of the screen can be brought back (scrollbar and mouse-wheel support).
  • Roughly 350 pages of on-line, mouse-navigatable hypertext manual. HTML version of the manual is also available.
  • Context sensitive help that accesses the appropriate manual part instantly.
  • It's FAST. IVT outperforms all commercial and freeware terminal emulators.
  • X/Y/Zmodem file transfer. Auto Zmodem detection. File transfer can be over serial lines and/or Telnet sessions.
  • Support for very big monitors and dual-monitor setups.
  • Lots more, but it is all in the manual pages.
