The current About boxes are too small to fit in all the buildinfo data, in particular the source-control commit id. Apparently I forgot to enlarge them when I enlarged the one in PuTTY proper. (All the same information is nonetheless *present* in the box, but there seems to be no way to scroll a static text control, so you can only find that out by 'Select All' and copying to the clipboard.) Anyway. Now resized to the same dimensions as the main PuTTY About box. (Really I should centralise more definitions into a common resource file, but there we go.)
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?
