Currently, release versions of PuTTY tools only run on Windows
systems and Unix.
\#{XXX-REVIEW-BEFORE-RELEASE: replace following two lines with:
As of 0.68, the supplied PuTTY executables run on versions of
Windows from XP onwards,}
PuTTY runs on versions of Windows from Windows 95 onwards (but not
the 16-bit Windows 3.1; see \k{faq-win31}), up to and including
Windows 10; and we know of no reason why PuTTY should not continue
to work on future versions of Windows.
\#{XXX-REVIEW-BEFORE-RELEASE: should say something about w32old for
pre-XP Windows}
the 16-bit Windows 3.1; see \k{faq-win31}),
up to and including Windows 10; and we know of no reason why PuTTY
should not continue to work on future versions of Windows.
The 32-bit Windows executables we provide for the \q{\i{x86}}
processor architecture should also work fine on 64-bit processors
