   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'.
