Re: PuTTY project

Salam,

This is great news. I suggest that you familiarize yourself with PuTTY
as a user, and then take a look at the sources. Feel free to ask and
share with me any thoughts you have, and I will do the same ;)

Right now I do not think there is a way to make PuTTY bidi aware
without major changes to its data structures. I know that this may
make it difficult for Simon (PuTTY author and maintainer) to accept
and integrate the changes, but we will do our best and negotiate that
once we have something working. Let me know if you think otherwise.

I am looking at mlterm sources and I see nice data structures. So I
think I will borrow from mlterm. Maybe you can take a look at iterm
sources (see previous posts on this list) and tell me what you see.

In any case, the only rule is that one always checks in something that
works. This is now important since more than one person will be
working on the same project.

I will try to be on irc during the day (pacific time, I am in
California), feel free to come in and we can discuss this further.
