putty-win32s
A port of putty 0.74 to Windows 3.1+Win32s.
Maybe this may help close this bug: https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/port-win32s.html
The whole windows sourcetree builds, and loads.
Building
To build this, you need the following:
- GNU make
- WATCOM C (used OpenWatcom 2.0 beta)
- mingw32-windres (for resource files, should work with wrc too)
Prerequistes
- Windows 3.11
- Microsoft TCP/IP-32 version 3.11b (or a compatible winsock 1.1 stack)
- Microsoft Win32s 1.30c (might work in other versions, not tested)
Running
- As the UNIX codepath for sessions saving/loading is used, you should set a HOME environment variable in AUTOEXEC.BAT
- If not, it defaults to C:\HOME
- run putty.exe
What works
- the GUI apps, at least putty.exe and puttytel.exe
What doesn't work
- Unicode. really. at all.
- console applications. They'll load, and that's all. They would require an additional DOS port, probably possible, since win32s can't handle console applications.
