in place of making a network connection. This has involved a couple of minor infrastructure changes: - New dlg_label_change() function in the dialog.h interface, which alters the label on a control. Only used, at present, to switch the Host Name and Port boxes into Serial Line and Speed, which means that any platform not implementing serial connections (i.e. currently all but Windows) does not need to actually do anything in this function. Yet. - New small piece of infrastructure: cfg_launchable() determines whether a Config structure describes a session ready to be launched. This was previously determined by seeing if it had a non-empty host name, but it has to check the serial line as well so there's a centralised function for it. I haven't gone through all front ends and arranged for this function to be used everywhere it needs to be; so far I've only checked Windows. - Similarly, cfg_dest() returns the destination of a connection (host name or serial line) in a text format suitable for putting into messages such as `Unable to connect to %s'.

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?
