\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?
@ -234,9 +231,9 @@ testing in this area would be very welcome!
\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?
@ -245,6 +242,10 @@ even on systems the developers \e{do} already know how to program
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
