\S{faq-ports-general}{Question} What ports of PuTTY exist?
Currently, release versions of PuTTY tools only run on full Win32
systems and Unix. \q{Win32} includes Windows 95, 98, and ME, and it
includes Windows NT, 2000, XP, and Vista.
systems and Unix. \q{\i{Win32}} includes versions of Windows from
Windows 95 onwards (as opposed to the 16-bit Windows 3.1; see
\k{faq-win31}), up to and including Windows 7; and we know of no
reason why PuTTY should not continue to work on future versions
of Windows.
The Windows executables we provide are for the 32-bit \q{\i{x86}}
processor architecture, but they should work fine on 64-bit
processors that are backward-compatible with that architecture.
(We used to also provide executables for Windows for the Alpha
processor, but stopped after 0.58 due to lack of interest.)
In the development code, partial ports to the Mac OSes exist (see
\k{faq-mac-port}).
Currently PuTTY does \e{not} run on Windows CE (see \k{faq-wince}),
and it does not quite run on the Win32s environment under Windows
3.1 (see \k{faq-win31}).

We do not have release-quality ports for any other systems at the
present time. If anyone told you we had an EPOC port, or an iPaq port,
