After I moved parts of misc.c into utils.c, we started getting two versions of smemclr in the Windows builds, because utils.c didn't know to omit its one, having not included the main putty.h. But it was deliberate that utils.c didn't include putty.h, because I wanted it (along with the rest of testcrypt in particular) to be portable to unusual platforms without having to port the whole of the code base. So I've moved into the ubiquitous defs.h just the one decision about whether we're on a platform that will supersede utils.c's definition of smemclr. (Also, in the process of moving it, I've removed the clause that disabled the Windows smemclr in winelib mode, because it looks as if the claim that winelib doesn't have SecureZeroMemory is now out of date.)
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?
