Information about PuTTY for the Mac OS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
+This is a port of PuTTY to the Classic Mac OS. It is a work in
+progress and should be considered unfinished and insecure. It is
+not considered to be of release quality, even if you found it (and
+you're reading this) in a PuTTY release source archive. Unless you
+know what you're doing, don't use it.
+
Compiling it:
See ../README for generic information.
* Display is far too slow.
* Real bold doesn't compensate for changing character widths without Color
QuickDraw. [MAYBE FIXED]
- * Compiling ssh.c using SC 8.8.4 with "-opt time" causes SSH1
- connections to fail with "Incorrect CRC received on packet". Using
- "-opt none" works around this.
* When the last terminal window closes, the Edit menu doesn't get disabled
immediately, which it should.
* When using the "VT100" font, text copied to the clipboard doesn't
font switch at this point. This can be seen as a special case of
the need to switch fonts to get odd characters.
* Pasting large blocks of text doesn't work.
+ * The host key database is currently limited by its implementation to
+ 2727 host keys.
Unimplemented features (should be done before release):
* TCP urgent data.
* Listening sockets.
- * Clipping host resize requests to screen size.
* Changing font size in reponse to resize requests.
* Full screen mode.
- * Session configuration.
- * Host key database.
+ * Session configuration.
* Entropy collection.
* Private key files.
* Pageant and PuTTYgen.
* Do something with Open Application Apple Events.
- * Warn-on-close.
* Close-on-exit.
* Warn-on-quit.
- * Event log.
- * Flashing things.
* Non-block cursors.
