This is the last of the subdirectory creations I had planned. This one is almost too footling to bother with (it hardly declutters the top level very much). One useful side effect is that I've included testback.c (containing the null and loopback backends) in the otherbackends library, which means it will now actually be _compiled_ even when nothing's using it, and we'll spot bit-rot promptly when internal APIs change. (And, to prove the point, I've immediately had to fix some bit-rot.)
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
