| 1 | This is the README for PuTTY, a free Win32 Telnet and SSH client. |

| 3 | The provided Makefile is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake' to |
| 4 | build both putty.exe (the main program) and pscp.exe (an SCP |
| 5 | client). The comment at the top of the Makefile gives extra build |
| 6 | options you can use to build in limited Win32s compatibility, a hack |
| 7 | to pass SSH through some types of firewall, and `official' version |
| 8 | numbers. |

| 10 | Setting up a project file in the Visual C++ IDE sometimes fails to |
| 11 | work. In particular, Visual Studio 6 falls over on the odd macro |
| 12 | usage in ssh.c. This is a bug in Visual Studio, since the VC++6 |
| 13 | command line compiler works fine. If in doubt, just use `nmake'. |
