Ben Harris 93f12a008d Use the Unicode Converter to convert from Unicode to the display encoding
if it's available.  Linking against the static Unicode Converter library
costs us about 30k on Classic 68K, which I can live with.

Because the default fallback converter can generate multiple output
characters for a single input character, we provide our own fallback that
doesn't.  It converts everything to '?' instead.

Information about PuTTY for the Mac OS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
Compiling it:
See ../README for generic information.
To compile PuTTY for Mac OS you will need:
MPW
<ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Tool_Chest/Core_Mac_OS_Tools/MPW_etc./
MPW-GM_Images/MPW-GM.img.bin>
Universal Headers (optional)
<ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/
UniversalHeaders3.4.2.img.bin>
Text Encoding Converter SDK
<ftp://ftp.apple.com/developer/Development_Kits/TEC_1.5.sit.hqx>
Install MPW, install the new Universal Headers (optional), then put
the contents of the "68K Static Libraries" directory of the Text
Encoding Converter SDK into "Interfaces&Libraries:Libraries:Libraries".
The "mkputty.mpw" script does most of the work, but currently needs
you to run "Rez -append -o PuTTY mac_res.r {Includes}" to get the
resources compiled in. The Makefile currently only generates a
Classic 68K application. Other architectures will come later.
Runtime requirements:
PuTTY should run on any Macintosh running System 7.0 or later. The
Classic 68K build seems not to run under Mac OS X (even with
Classic.app).
Known bugs:
* PowerPC and fat versions fail to start on systems without AppearanceLib (ie
most System 7 ones). The 68k version works fine. [MAYBE FIXED]
* Display is far too slow.
* Real bold doesn't compensate for changing character widths without Color
QuickDraw. [MAYBE FIXED]
* sshsha.c and sshmd5.c cause a stack overflow in Apple's PowerPC C compiler
unless optimisation is entirely disabled.
Features we need (and aren't entirely obvious):
* Scroll-conflation -- scroll_display should change the in-memory
display and remember the scroll, then do_scroll should be called
only when scroll_display gets called for a different rectangle or
term_paint happens.
