\S{faq-mac-port}{Question} Will there be a port to the Mac?
-There is a port to the Mac OS in progress. It's just about usable, but
-has an awful lot of gaps and rough edges that will need cleaning up
-before release (such as useful random numbers).
+There are several answers to this question:
-A separate port to Mac OS X is also underway.
+\b The Unix/Gtk port is already fully working under Mac OS X as an X11
+application.
+
+\b A native (Cocoa) Mac OS X port is in progress. It's just about
+usable, but is of nowhere near release quality yet, and is likely to
+behave in unexpected ways.
+
+\b A separate port to the classic Mac OS (pre-OSX) is also in
+progress; it too is not ready yet.

\S{faq-bce}{Question} When I run full-colour applications, I see
-areas of black space where colour ought to be.
+areas of black space where colour ought to be, or vice versa.
+
+You almost certainly need to change the \q{Use background colour to
+erase screen} setting in the Terminal panel. If there is too much
+black space (the commoner situation), you should enable it, while if
+there is too much colour, you should disable it. (See \k{config-erase}.)
-You almost certainly need to enable the \q{Use background colour to
-erase screen} setting in the Terminal panel. Note that if you do
-this in mid-session, in versions before 0.54, it may not take effect
-until you reset the terminal (see \k{faq-resetterm}).
+In old versions of PuTTY, this was disabled by default, and would not
+take effect until you reset the terminal (see \k{faq-resetterm}).
+Since 0.54, it is enabled by default, and changes take effect
+immediately.
\S{faq-resetterm}{Question} When I change some terminal settings,
nothing happens.
There is a patch for OpenSSH attached to that bug; it's also fixed in
recent versions of portable OpenSSH (from around 3.8).
+\S{faq-connaborted}{Question} Do you want to hear about \q{Software
+caused connection abort}?
+
+In the documentation for PuTTY 0.53 and 0.53b, we mentioned that we'd
+like to hear about any occurrences of this error. Since the release
+of PuTTY 0.54, however, we've been convinced that this error doesn't
+indicate that PuTTY's doing anything wrong, and we don't need to hear
+about further occurrences. See \k{errors-connaborted} for our current
+documentation of this error.

\H{faq-secure} Security questions
\S{faq-publicpc}{Question} Is it safe for me to download PuTTY and
the PC (see \k{faq-settings}). If you are using PuTTY on a public
PC, or somebody else's PC, you might want to clean these up when you
leave. You can do that automatically, by running the command
-\c{putty -cleanup}.
+\c{putty -cleanup}. (Note that this only removes settings for
+the currently logged-in user on \i{multi-user systems}.)
+
+If PuTTY was installed from the installer package, it will also
+appear in \q{Add/Remove Programs}. Uninstallation does not currently
+remove the above-mentioned registry entries and file.
\S{faq-dsa}{Question} How come PuTTY now supports DSA, when the
website used to say how insecure it was?
