Those were a reasonable abbreviation when the code almost never had to deal with little-endian numbers, but they've crept into enough places now (e.g. the ECC formatting) that I think I'd now prefer that every use of the integer read/write macros was clearly marked with its endianness. So all uses of GET_??BIT and PUT_??BIT are now qualified. The special versions in x11fwd.c, which used variable endianness because so does the X11 protocol, are suffixed _X11 to make that clear, and where that pushed line lengths over 80 characters I've taken the opportunity to name a local variable to remind me of what that extra parameter actually does.
PuTTY README
============
This is the README file for the PuTTY installer distribution. If
you're reading this, you've probably just run our installer and
installed PuTTY on your system.
What should I do next?
----------------------
If you want to use PuTTY to connect to other computers, or use PSFTP
to transfer files, you should just be able to run them from the
Start menu.
If you want to use the command-line-only file transfer utility PSCP,
you will probably want to put the PuTTY installation directory on
your PATH. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
