is in the eye of the beholder. It's been rumoured that \q{PuTTY}
is the antonym of \q{\cw{getty}}, or that it's the stuff that makes your
Windows useful, or that it's a kind of plutonium Teletype. We
couldn't possibly comment on such allegations.
\S{faq-pronounce}{Question} How do I pronounce \q{PuTTY}?
Exactly like the English word \q{putty}, which we pronounce
/\u02C8{'}p\u028C{V}t\u026A{I}/.
