\A{faq} PuTTY FAQ
\S{faq-wince}{Question} Will there be a port to Windows CE or PocketPC?
-Probably not in the particularly near future. Despite sharing large
-parts of the Windows API, in practice WinCE doesn't appear to be
-significantly easier to port to than a totally different operating
-system.
-
-However, PuTTY on portable devices would clearly be a useful thing,
-so in the long term I hope there will be a WinCE port.
+It's currently being worked on, but it's only in its early stages yet,
+and certainly isn't yet useful. PuTTY on portable devices would
+clearly be a useful thing, so in the long term I hope it can be
+brought up to release quality.
\S{faq-win31}{Question} Is there a port to Windows 3.1?
\S{faq-mac-port}{Question} Will there be a port to the Mac?
-Eventually. The terminal emulation code has been ported, as has the
-saved-settings infrastructure, but networking and a configuration GUI
-still need to be done before the port will be of any use.
+There is a port to the Mac OS in progress. It's just about usable, but
+has an awful lot of gaps and rough edges that will need cleaning up
+before release.
\S{faq-epoc}{Question} Will there be a port to EPOC?
for, it might be a long time before any of us get round to learning
a new system and doing the port for that.
+However, some of the work has been done by other people, and a beta
+port of PuTTY for the Nokia 9200 Communicator series is available
+from \W{http://www.s2.org/putty/}\cw{http://www.s2.org/putty/}

\S{faq-dll}{Question} Is the SSH or Telnet code available as a DLL?

-\S{faq-pronounce}{Question} How do I pronounce PuTTY?
+\S{faq-meaning}{Question} What does \q{PuTTY} mean?
+
+It's the name of a popular SSH and Telnet client. Any other meaning
+is in the eye of the beholder. It's been rumoured that \q{PuTTY}
+is the antonym of \q{\cw{getty}}, or that it's the stuff that makes your
+Windows useful, or that it's a kind of plutonium Teletype. We
+couldn't possibly comment on such allegations.
+
+\S{faq-pronounce}{Question} How do I pronounce \q{PuTTY}?
-Exactly like the normal word \q{putty}. Just like the stuff you put
-on window frames. (One of the reasons it's called PuTTY is because
-it makes Windows usable. :-)
+Exactly like the English word \q{putty}, which we pronounce
+/\u02C8{'}p\u028C{V}t\u026A{I}/.
