3 Information about PuTTY for the Mac OS
4 -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
6 This is a port of PuTTY to the Classic Mac OS. It is a work in
7 progress and should be considered unfinished and insecure. Unless you
8 know what you're doing, don't use it.
12 See ../README for generic information.
14 To compile PuTTY for Mac OS you will need:
17 <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_etc./
18 MPW-GM_Images/MPW-GM.img.bin>
19 Install this in the usual way.
22 <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/
23 UniversalHeaders3.4.2.img.bin>
24 Install using the script in "Documentation:MPW Users - ReadMe".
26 Text Encoding Converter SDK
27 <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/TEC_1.5.sit.hqx>
28 Copy contents of "68K Static Libraries" to
29 "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:Libraries".
30 Copy contents of "Stub Libraries" to
31 "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:SharedLibraries".
34 <ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/
35 MPW_Website_Downloads/CarbonStdCLib.o-3.8d3.hqx>
36 Copy contents of "CIncludes" to
37 "Interfaces&Libraries:Interfaces:CIncludes".
38 Copy contents of "PPCLibraries" to
39 "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:PPCLibraries".
41 The "mkputty.mpw" script does all the work, and currently producess a
42 Classic 68K build of PuTTY called "PuTTY.68k", a non-Carbon PowerPC
43 build called "PuTTY.ppc", and similar builds of PuTTYtel called
44 "PuTTYtel.68k" and "PuTTYtel.ppc". The CFM-68K build is currently
45 disabled because it overflows the global data space and I can't work
46 out how to stop this happening. The Carbon build doesn't work yet.
50 The Classic 68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh running
51 System 7.0 or later. It runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.
53 The CFM-68K build of PuTTY should work on any Macintosh with a 68020,
54 68030 or 68040 processor and with either the CFM-68K Runtime Enabler
55 or Mac OS 7.6.1 or later installed.
57 The PowerPC build of PuTTY should work on any Power Macintosh. It
58 runs in the Classic environment in Mac OS X.
60 The Carbon build of PuTTY (when it works) should work on any Power
61 Macintosh with CarbonLib (and Mac OS 8.1 or later), Mac OS 9 or
65 * Display is far too slow.
66 * Real bold doesn't compensate for changing character widths without Color
67 QuickDraw. [MAYBE FIXED]
68 * When the last terminal window closes, the Edit menu doesn't get disabled
69 immediately, which it should.
70 * When using the "VT100" font, text copied to the clipboard doesn't
71 get newlines in it, because that font has a graphic character at
72 position 0x0d. Even if we did insert 0x0d manually, TextEdit
73 insists on displaying the graphic version, so I think we need a
74 font switch at this point. This can be seen as a special case of
75 the need to switch fonts to get odd characters.
76 * Pasting large blocks of text doesn't work.
77 * The host key database is currently limited by its implementation to
80 Unimplemented features (should be done before release):
83 * Changing font size in reponse to resize requests.
85 * Session configuration.
88 * Pageant and PuTTYgen.
89 * Do something with Open Application Apple Events.
94 Wishlist (after release):
96 * Carbon compatibility (requires Open Transport and Navigation Services).
97 * 'styl' paste, for script codes.
98 * Handle 'gurl' Apple Events.
