abstracted out; replace loops structured around a single interaction per loop with less tortuous code (fixes: `ki-multiprompt-crash', `ssh1-bad-passphrase-crash'; makes `ssh2-password-expiry' and `proxy-password-prompt' easier). The new interaction abstraction has a lot of fields that are unused in the current code (things like window captions); this is groundwork for `gui-auth'. However, ssh.c still writes directly to stderr; that may want to be fixed. In the GUI apps, user interaction is moved to terminal.c. This should make it easier to fix things like UTF-8 username entry, although I haven't attempted to do so. Also, control character filtering can be tailored to be appropriate for individual front-ends; so far I don't promise anything other than not having made it any worse. I've tried to test this fairly exhaustively (although Mac stuff is untested, as usual). It all seems to basically work, but I bet there are new bugs. (One I know about is that you can no longer make the PuTTY window go away with a ^D at the password prompt; this should be fixed.)

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 http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/ 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'.
