written a script which would generate the various graphical components of the PuTTY icon suite at any given resolution and then used that to generate the OS X icon as well as all the others, but I can always do that later; this'll do for now. [originally from svn r5487]

This directory contains a Mac OS X port of PuTTY/pterm, running as a
|
|
native Aqua GUI application.
|
|
|
|
THIS PORT IS CURRENTLY UNFINISHED AND EXPERIMENTAL. You are welcome
|
|
to use it, but don't be surprised at unexpected behaviour. I'm not
|
|
kidding.
|
|
|
|
In particular, I have not yet decided where OS X PuTTY should store
|
|
its configuration data. Options include storing it in ~/.putty to be
|
|
compatible with Unix PuTTY, storing it wherever is compatible with
|
|
Mac Classic PuTTY, storing it in a natively OS X location, or
|
|
sorting out the `config-locations' wishlist item and doing all
|
|
three. Therefore, if you start using this port and create a whole
|
|
load of saved sessions, you should not be surprised if a future
|
|
version of the port decides to look somewhere completely different
|
|
for the data and therefore loses them all. If that happens, don't
|
|
say you weren't warned!
|
|
|
|
Other ways in which the port is currently unfinished include:
|
|
|
|
Missing terminal window features
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- terminal display is horribly slow
|
|
|
|
- fonts aren't configurable
|
|
|
|
- several features are unimplemented in the terminal display:
|
|
underlining, non-solid-block cursors, double-width and
|
|
double-height line attributes, bold as font rather than as
|
|
colour, wide (CJK) characters, combining characters.
|
|
|
|
- there's no scrollbar
|
|
|
|
- terminal window resizing isn't implemented yet
|
|
|
|
- proper window placement (cascading down and right from the
|
|
starting position, plus remembering previous window positions per
|
|
the Apple HIG) is not implemented
|
|
|
|
Missing alert box features
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
- warn-on-close isn't implemented
|
|
|
|
Missing input features
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
- use of Alt+numberpad to enter arbitrary numeric character codes
|
|
is not yet supported
|
|
|
|
- there's no Meta key yet. (I'd like to at least have the
|
|
possibility of using Command rather than Option as the Meta key,
|
|
since the latter is necessary to send some characters, including
|
|
the rather important # on Apple UK keyboards; but trapping
|
|
Command-<key> and sending it to the window rather than the
|
|
application menu requires me to make a positive effort of some
|
|
sort and I haven't got round to it yet. For those Mac users who
|
|
consider their Command key sacrosanct, don't worry, this option
|
|
_will_ be configurable and _will_ be off by default.)
|
|
|
|
- there's no specials menu
|
|
|
|
- mouse activity isn't supported (neither cut-and-paste nor xterm
|
|
mouse tracking)
|
|
|
|
Missing terminal emulation features
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
- currently no support for server-side window management requests
|
|
(i.e. escape sequences to minimise or maximise the window,
|
|
request or change its position and size, change its title etc)
|
|
|
|
- window title is currently fixed
|
|
|
|
Other missing features
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
- no Event Log
|
|
|
|
- no mid-session Change Settings
