Simon Tatham 171ce1e780 Experimental change in the behaviour of `disable alternate terminal
screen'. Now it also disables the save-and-restore-cursor behaviour
of ESC[?1048h and ESC[?1049h, since these sequences seem to be
output by software trying to switch to the alternate screen, and it
looks very odd to have the cursor position restored to where it was
before `less' when the garbage `less' wrote all over the screen is
still around. The `traditional' ESC 7 and ESC 8 still function as
normal, on the basis that they aren't usually used in conjunction
with the alternate screen. I'm not sure whether this will be the
right decision; I'm prepared to change it back if a sufficiently
serious counterexample shows up.

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 to be
on your PATH. How you do this depends on your version of Windows. On
Windows NT and 2000, you can set it using Control Panel > System; on
Windows 95 you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult your Windows
manuals for details.

What do I do if it doesn't work?
--------------------------------
