From 509afd76242d667345a926a5a373c1d26d74482f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: jacob Date: Sun, 10 Aug 2008 14:28:51 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Link to pTerm, an SSH client for the iPhone that's apparently based on PuTTY. Attempts at damage limitation from the name similarity with pterm. Also try to refresh the ports section of the FAQ a bit. git-svn-id: svn://svn.tartarus.org/sgt/putty@8139 cda61777-01e9-0310-a592-d414129be87e --- doc/faq.but | 30 +++++++++++++++++++++++------- 1 file changed, 23 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/doc/faq.but b/doc/faq.but index ca8bb9c9..4c1c3097 100644 --- a/doc/faq.but +++ b/doc/faq.but @@ -211,8 +211,8 @@ Currently, release versions of PuTTY tools only run on full Win32 systems and Unix. \q{Win32} includes Windows 95, 98, and ME, and it includes Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Vista. -In the development code, a partial port to the Mac OS (see -\k{faq-mac-port}) is under way. +In the development code, partial ports to the Mac OSes exist (see +\k{faq-mac-port}).
