Information about PuTTY for the Mac OS
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=

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]
* If the screen scrolls more than once between calls to WaitNextEvent, Bad
Things can happen owing to a bug in do_scroll. This can be fixed when I
have an easy way to test it.
* Display is far too slow.
* Fails to work on systems without Color QuickDraw. [FIXED]
* Real bold doesn't compensate for changing character widths without Color
QuickDraw. [MAYBE FIXED]
* Scrolling appears to be shafted on Original QuickDraw.
* ResEdit 'TMPL' resource seems to be broken.
* 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.
