OVERLAPPED structure in output threads, as we already do for input threads. This apparently sorts out a hanging issue with serial ports when trying to do simultaneous read and write, because (GJV says, and it sounds plausible to me) in the absence of that event object Windows signals the file handle itself to notify GetOverlappedResult that it can return - and since the file handle might be being signalled by a read operation instead, that leads to ambiguity. Using an explicit event object in both directions means Windows always knows which way the data is going. Also a trivial fix in handle_output_new(), which was referencing the wrong element of a union due to a copy and paste error. (Since the result was address-taken and cast to void *, this wasn't a functional error, but it was conceptually wrong.) [originally from svn r8410]
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, 2000, and XP, you can set it using Control Panel > System;
on Windows 95, 98, and Me, you will need to edit AUTOEXEC.BAT. Consult
your Windows manuals for details.
Some versions of Windows will refuse to run HTML Help files (.CHM)
if they are installed on a network drive. If you have installed
PuTTY on a network drive, you might want to check that the help file
works properly. If not, see http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896054
for information on how to solve this problem.
What do I do if it doesn't work?
