This fixes a load-time failure on versions of Windows too old to have that function in kernel32.dll. We use it to determine whether a file was safe to overwrite in the context of PuTTY session logging: if it's safe, we skip the 'do you want to overwrite or append?' dialog box. On earlier Windows you can use FindFirstFile to get a similar effect, so that's what we fall back to. It's not quite the same, though - if you pass a wildcard then it will succeed when you'd rather it had failed. But it's good enough to at least work in normal cases.
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/>.

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.
