note that 68030 machines are probably fast enough now

-------
A modern SSH client for Mac OS 7/8/9.
Project status: as of 0.8.0 ([see github releases](https://github.com/cy384/ssheven/releases)), a functional SSH client, able to connect via key or password. Versions prior to 1.0.0 are alpha/beta quality.
Project status: as of 0.8.0 ([see github releases](https://github.com/cy384/ssheven/releases)), fairly secure and usable, but without a polished UX or all planned features. Versions prior to 1.0.0 should be considered alpha/beta quality.

system requirements
-------------------
* CPU: Any PPC processor, or at least a 25 MHz 68040/68LC040. Presently, all 68030 and 68020 CPUs are too slow.
* CPU: Any PPC processor, or at least a 68030 (68040 strongly recommended).
* RAM: 2MB.
* Disk space: 1MB for the fat binary.
* System 7.1 or later. Versions below 7.5 require the Thread Manager extension.

* general ssheven code cleanup
* select words on double click
* font face and size options
* improve draw speed

* configurable terminal string
known bugs
* initial key exchange is too slow for 68030 machines (improve `mbedtls_mpi_exp_mod` and BN assembly) (needs 5x speed improvement for 68030)
* drawing the screen is wildly slow
* input latency feels high because redrawing the screen is slow
* receiving a large amount of data breaks the channel (e.g. `cat /dev/zero`)
* excessive redraws/flicker while selecting
