Simon Tatham 32b25c13da Remove the loops that close all open fds before running a
subprocess. They were intended to make sure the child process didn't
inherit anything embarrassing or inconvenient from us, such as the
master end of its own pty, but now we instead do this by making sure
to set all our own fds to not-FD_CLOEXEC on creation. This should
fix Debian bug #357520.

(This doesn't seem to work _quite_ right in uxproxy.c's invocation
of a local proxy command: both ends of a GTK internal pipe end up in
the child process's fd space. This appears to be another GTK 1 bug,
inasmuch as it goes away when I build with Colin's preliminary GTK 2
patch; for the moment I think leaving that pipe lying around is
probably less harmful than hampering the proxy process's ability to
use extra fds by prior arrangement with PuTTY's parent process.)

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?
--------------------------------

The PuTTY home web site is

Here you will find our list of known bugs and pending feature
requests. If your problem is not listed in there, or in the FAQ, or
in the manuals, read the Feedback page to find out how to report
bugs to us. PLEASE read the Feedback page carefully: it is there to
save you time as well as us. Do not send us one-line bug reports
telling us `it doesn't work'.
