This is the README for PuTTY, a free Win32 Telnet and SSH client.

The provided Makefile is for MS Visual C++ systems. Type `nmake' to
build both putty.exe (the main program) and pscp.exe (an SCP
client). The comment at the top of the Makefile gives extra build
options you can use to build in limited Win32s compatibility, a hack
to pass SSH through some types of firewall, and `official' version
numbers.

Setting up a project file in the Visual C++ IDE sometimes fails to
work. In particular, Visual Studio 6 falls over on the odd macro
usage in ssh.c. This is a bug in Visual Studio, since the VC++6
command line compiler works fine. If in doubt, just use `nmake'.
