System Architecture

The TS Environment for Windows consists of two components:

  • Thoroughbred Environment: Telnet Basic with Dictionary-IV
  • Thoroughbred Manager (tbjmgr.exe) Service

The Thoroughbred Manager will listen for TCP/IP connections on port 23 (default). When a TCP/IP connection is made, the Thoroughbred Manager will start a Basic session. For more information please see Starting Basic as a Telnet Session and Administrating the Thoroughbred Manager sections of this manual.
