Information about PuTTY for the Mac OS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
"Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:SharedLibraries".
The "mkputty.mpw" script does all the work, and currently producess a
- Classic 68K build of PuTTY called "PuTTY.68k", a CFM-68K build called
- "PuTTY.cfm68k", and a non-Carbon PowerPC build called "PuTTY.ppc".
+ Classic 68K build of PuTTY called "PuTTY.68k", a non-Carbon PowerPC
+ build called "PuTTY.ppc", and similar builds of PuTTYtel called
+ "PuTTYtel.68k" and "PuTTYtel.ppc". The CFM-68K build is currently
+ disabled because it overflows the global data space and I can't work
+ out how to stop this happening. The Carbon build doesn't work yet.
Runtime requirements:
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]
- * init_ucs() gets unitab_xterm completely wrong.
-
-Unimplemented features:
-
+ * 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
+ 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.
+
+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.
- * TEXT copy/paste.
- * Catching up with current keyboard mapping in other ports.
- * Saving sessions.
+ * Full screen mode.
* Session configuration.
- * 'TMPL' for 'Int ' resources (copied into saved sessions).
+ * Host key database.
+ * 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.
+
+Wishlist (after release):
+ * SFTP client (GUI?)
+ * Carbon compatibility (requires Open Transport and Navigation Services).
+ * 'styl' paste, for script codes.
+ * Handle 'gurl' Apple Events.
