Information about PuTTY for the Mac OS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
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.
+ 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.
+ 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.

Known bugs:
* Display is far too slow.
* Real bold doesn't compensate for changing character widths without Color
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.
* Clipping host resize requests to screen size.
* Changing font size in reponse to resize requests.
* Full screen mode.
- * TEXT paste.
- * Catching up with current keyboard mapping in other ports.
* Session configuration.
- * Filename abstraction (we want to use alias records).
* Host key database.
* Entropy collection.
* Private key files.
* 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?
+ * 'styl' paste, for script codes.
* Handle 'gurl' Apple Events.
