and various calls to WinHelp() have been centralised into a new file winhelp.c, which in turn has been modified to detect a .CHM file as well as .HLP and select between them as appropriate. It explicitly tries to load HHCTRL.OCX and use GetProcAddress, meaning that it _should_ still work correctly on pre-HTML-Help platforms, falling gracefully back to WinHelp, but although I tested this by temporarily renaming my own HHCTRL.OCX I haven't yet been able to test it on a real HTML-Help-free platform. Also in this checkin: a new .but file and docs makefile changes to make it convenient to build the sources for a .CHM. As yet, owing to limitations of Halibut's CHM support, I'm not able to write a .CHM directly, more's the pity. [originally from svn r7000]
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. 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?
--------------------------------
