A port of putty 0.76 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.
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)
- 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)
- 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
- the GUI apps, at least putty.exe, puttytel.exe and puttygen.exe
- Unicode. really. at all.
- pageant.exe.
- console applications. They'll load, and that's all, win32s doesn't support console applications.
As a replacement, there's an updated ssh2dos port here: https://github.com/AnttiTakala/SSH2DOS
Working scp2dos.exe/scp2d386.exe, sftpdos.exe/sftpd386.exe and ssh2dos.exe/ssh2d386.exe are now provided in releases.
The 386 variants are using the DOS32A extender which, in my experience, works correctly under win3.1.
Of course, they'll require a working wattcp environment, and either 2 NICs or something like ndis3pkt.
