it's NULL. Since we already have one back end (uxpty) which doesn't
in fact talk to a network socket, and may well have more soon, I'm
replacing this TCP/IP-centric function with a nice neutral
`connected' function returning a boolean. Nothing else about its
semantics has currently changed.

those handles does not cause it to see EOF on its stdin, because
it's holding the pipe open itself.

when we're only setting `busy' to tell the subthread to terminate!

thread-based approach to stdin and stdout, wraps it in a halfway
sensible API, and makes it a globally available service across all
network tools.
There is no direct functionality enhancement from this checkin:
winplink.c now talks to the new API instead of doing it all
internally, but does nothing different as a result.
However, this should lay the groundwork for several diverse pieces
of work in future: pipe-based ProxyCommand on Windows, a serial port
back end, and (hopefully) a pipe-based means of communicating with
Pageant, which should have sensible blocking behaviour and hence
permit asynchronous agent requests and decrypt-on-demand.

we set _FILE_OFFSET_BITS to 64 on the compiler command line (via mkfiles.pl),
and on Windows we use SetFilePointer and GetFileSize to cope with 64-bit sizes
where possible. Not tested on Win9x.

Shift-hjklyubn for batch movement in NetHack, because they have
subtly different behaviour within the game and the Ctrl-moves are
more useful. Unfortunately, PuTTY's NetHack keypad mode doesn't
support Ctrl-moves. Therefore, it does now :-)

- Now we've fixed `win-versioninfo', choose some sensible outcomes from
the installer's comparisons of binary version numbers. Also, give the
installer _itself_ a matching binary version.
In particular, without this change, it would not have been possible
to downgrade PuTTY -- it would have silently left the "newer" files in
place. Now it will make some fuss, but permit it.
- Also remove descriptions from shortcuts, on the grounds that the
binaries have embedded descriptions now. (Although I've not checked
whether those are actually visible in the Start Menu.)
- At the request of various people (e.g., PJB), add flags so that if
files are in use at the time the (un)installer is run, replacement is
deferred to the next restart. (The user may be prompted to restart,
which isn't ideal; see comments).
This is supposed to make centrally-pushed silent upgrades more robust.
- Note some limitations of the installer.

Pageant for local authentication. (This is a `don't use Pageant for
authentication at session startup' button rather than a `pretend
Pageant doesn't exist' button: that is, agent forwarding is

After a suggestion by "Tkil", change the way we handle the specials menu
to be robust against the window menu being externally modified.

Tested on recent-ish MinGW (with GetWindowLongPtr but not GetClassLongPtr),

basis for other terminal-involving applications: a stub
implementation of the printing interface, an additional function in
notiming.c, and also I've renamed the front-end function beep() to
do_beep() so as not to clash with beep() in lib[n]curses.

abstracted out; replace loops structured around a single interaction
per loop with less tortuous code (fixes: `ki-multiprompt-crash',
`ssh1-bad-passphrase-crash'; makes `ssh2-password-expiry' and
`proxy-password-prompt' easier).
The new interaction abstraction has a lot of fields that are unused in
the current code (things like window captions); this is groundwork for
`gui-auth'. However, ssh.c still writes directly to stderr; that may
want to be fixed.
In the GUI apps, user interaction is moved to terminal.c. This should
make it easier to fix things like UTF-8 username entry, although I
haven't attempted to do so. Also, control character filtering can be
tailored to be appropriate for individual front-ends; so far I don't
promise anything other than not having made it any worse.
I've tried to test this fairly exhaustively (although Mac stuff is
untested, as usual). It all seems to basically work, but I bet there
are new bugs. (One I know about is that you can no longer make the
PuTTY window go away with a ^D at the password prompt; this should be
fixed.)

a VERSIONINFO resource. The versioning scheme is described in
windows/version.rc2.
Some .rc files are now #included in others. In order to keep MSVC
project files working, these have been renamed to .rc2; there may exist
a better solution.
(This checkin also includes the documentation tweak missing from r6367.)
Testing performed:
- MinGW (cross-compiler): works
- VC nmake: works (tested with VC6)
- VC project files: builds with VERSIONINFO resource (no VER variable though)
- Borland: an old version of this patch was tested with it and more or
less worked, except that some of the VERSIONINFO strings were apparently
not terminated properly. Not attempted to work around this.
- LCC: not tested. Some fixes are in there from the last time we tried
this, but then the build ultimately failed and I haven't tried this
since that was fixed.
- Dev-C++: untested. (Haven't done anything special.)
- Unix Gtk/autoconf Makefiles work as before.

harmless, and it works for me (Win98).

Unix Plink sends everything sensible it can find, and it's fully configurable

I'm not entirely sure about the precise set of modes that Unix Plink should
look at; informed tweaks are welcome.
Also the Mac bits are guesses (but trivial).

superseded by the "columns" mechanism, and it didn't allow an edit box to
be created with no label.
Also add no-label capability to a couple of other controls.

we were doing a forward+reverse lookup, which seems above and beyond the
call of duty, especially given that getaddrinfo() can be persuaded to
return a canonical name (this is what unix/uxnet.c does).
Unfortunately, I'm unable to test this at all as Win98 doesn't have
getaddrinfo(); hopefully I'll be able to find a mug with a modern version
of Windows to check it's not completely broken.
I think the effects of this are mostly cosmetic -- the canonical name is
used for window titles (and some people have been annoyed at the new
behaviour), other displays, and probably also for proxy exclusions.
