Now those names appear in help files, I thought it was worth giving
them a read-through and spotting any really obviously confusing or
wrong ones. Quite a few make more sense in the original context of C
than in the derived Python (e.g. 'BinarySink *bs' as a place to write
output to makes sense, but the output 'val_string bs' is less
helpful).
A couple were so confusing that I also corrected them in the original
C, notably the misuse of 'wc' for the elliptic curve point input to
ecc_weierstrass_point_copy. ('wc' in that section of the code is
normally a parameter describing a whole curve.)
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
