 Information about PuTTY for the Mac OS
 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
 
+This is a port of PuTTY to the Classic Mac OS.  It is a work in

+you're reading this) in a PuTTY release source archive.  Unless you
+know what you're doing, don't use it.

  The PowerPC build of PuTTY should work on any Power Macintosh.  It
  runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.
 
-Known bugs:
+ The Carbon build of PuTTY (when it works) should work on any Power
+ Macintosh with CarbonLib (and Mac OS 8.1 or later), Mac OS 9 or
+ Mac OS X installed.
 
- * PowerPC and fat versions fail to start on systems without AppearanceLib (ie
-   most System 7 ones).  The 68k version works fine. [MAYBE FIXED]
+Known bugs:
  * 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.
-
-Unimplemented features:
-
+ * 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
+   get newlines in it, because that font has a graphic character at
+   position 0x0d.  Even if we did insert 0x0d manually, TextEdit
+   insists on displaying the graphic version, so I think we need a
+   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.
- * Clipping host resize requests to screen size.
+ * Listening sockets.
  * Changing font size in reponse to resize requests.
- * TEXT copy/paste.
- * Catching up with current keyboard mapping in other ports.
- * Saving sessions.
- * Session configuration.
- * 'TMPL' for 'Int ' resources (copied into saved sessions).
+ * Full screen mode.
+ * Session configuration. 
+ * Entropy collection.
+ * Private key files.
+ * Pageant and PuTTYgen.
+ * Do something with Open Application Apple Events.
+ * Close-on-exit.
+ * Warn-on-quit.
+ * Non-block cursors.
+
+Wishlist (after release):
+ * SFTP client (GUI?)
+ * Carbon compatibility (requires Open Transport and Navigation Services).
+ * 'styl' paste, for script codes.
+ * Handle 'gurl' Apple Events.
