ssh1_protocol() and ssh2_protocol() are now high-level functions
which see _every_ SSH packet and decide which lower-level function
to pass it to. Also, they each support a dispatch table of simple
handler functions for message types which can arrive at any time.
Results are:
- ignore, debug and disconnect messages are now handled by the
dispatch table rather than being warts in the rdpkt functions
- SSH2_MSG_WINDOW_ADJUST is handled by the dispatch table, which
means that do_ssh2_authconn doesn't have to explicitly
special-case it absolutely every time it waits for a response to
its latest channel request
- the top-level SSH2 protocol function chooses whether messages get
funnelled to the transport layer or the auth/conn layer based on
the message number ranges defined in the SSH architecture draft -
so things that should go to auth/conn go there even in the middle
of a rekey (although a special case is that nothing goes to
auth/conn until initial kex has finished). This should fix the
other half of ssh2-kex-data.

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

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'.
