To understand the handle leak bug that I fixed in git commit 7549f2da40d3666f2c9527d84d9ed5468e231691, I had to think fairly hard to remind myself what all this code was doing, which means the comments weren't good enough. Expanded and rewritten some of them in the hope that things will be clearer next time. (cherry picked from commit a87a14ae0fc7d4621b5b1fafdb2053b3638b4b2b) Cherry-picker's notes: this apparently pointless commit is required on this branch because it's a dependency of the rather less pointless 9fec2e773873e28f1409f5e1eefaf03483070050.
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. On Windows 7 and similar versions, you can do this at
Control Panel > System and Security > System > Advanced system
settings > Environment Variables.
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?
