- The "mkputty.mpw" script does most of the work, but currently needs
- you to run "Rez -append -o PuTTY.68k mac_res.r", and the same for
- PuTTY.ppc to get the resources compiled in.

 Runtime requirements:
 

- PuTTY should run on any Macintosh running System 7.0 or later.  The
- Classic 68K build seems not to run under Mac OS X (even with
- Classic.app).
+ The Classic 68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh running
+ System 7.0 or later.  It runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.

 
 

-Known bugs:
+ The CFM-68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh with a 68020,
+ 68030 or 68040 processor and with either the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler
+ or Mac OS 7.6.1 or later installed.

+ runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.

 
 

- * 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]
  * Display is far too slow.
  * Real bold doesn't compensate for changing character widths without Color
    QuickDraw. [MAYBE FIXED]

- * sshsha.c and sshmd5.c cause a stack overflow in Apple's PowerPC C compiler 
-   unless optimisation is entirely disabled.
-
-Features we need (and aren't entirely obvious):
-
- * Scroll-conflation -- scroll_display should change the in-memory
-   display and remember the scroll, then do_scroll should be called
-   only when scroll_display gets called for a different rectangle or
-   term_paint happens.
+ * 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.
+ * Full screen mode.
+ * 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.
+ * 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.
